It's More Than Just Smoke
The TENNESSEAN - Jerry Horne , Governor Bredesen says we have a once - in - a - life - time - opportunity to purchase 200 square miles of untouched land owned by a timber company. He says he wants to preserve it while maintaining logging rights. Is'nt that a little double talk ?
Let's look at what the news people won't tell us. This type of land is typically owned by both a timber company and a insurance company. These folks went in to buy this land when TVA was stealing land for their dam projects. These companies knew the areas would not flood and bought the land from TVA for pennies. Now look at what the land is worth today.
Why would Bredesen want to buy this land to preserve it while " maintaining logging rights " ? You don't log preserved land. How many people are aware that Tennessee has an open contract with Japan for any and all hardwood Tennessee sends it's way ? Hmmmm.....................
If you have not seen what logging does to the land , there's an area outside of Fall Creek that was logged years ago.
