Commissioner gives local retirees first-person account of Timber Trial

Scott Swanson

Linn County Commission Chair Roger Nyquist told a group of local retirees last week that the $1 billion timber lawsuit Linn and 12 other counties won against the Oregon Department of Forestry last November unveiled a dearth of data behind the state’s forest management decisions.

Nyquist paid a visit Wednesday, March 4, to the group, mostly former loggers, who gather weekly in Holley. He was invited by Bruce Weatherly, one of the participants.
