“Together, Tom and the incredible employees at the Forest Service will work to execute the agenda of President Donald J. Trump to make America’s forests healthy and productive again.”
That choice of word does not inspire confidence.
- It certainly does not, and their choice of “managed relationships with government officials at all levels” is a very eloquent way to say “timber lobbyist.”
  
  It doesn't matter what the orange butt plug does ... he can never make most American timber better than Canadian timber.
  
  Personally, I’m more concerned about reckless deforestation than lumber production.
