Montgomery: A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit challenging the state’s mandatory face mask mandate, which opponents claimed is unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Keith Watkins, in a decision Tuesday, dismissed the lawsuit calling it a “shotgun pleading” that makes a lot of accusations without organization or solid legal claims. The same judge in October had refused the suit’s request to block the mask rule, which health officials have credited with lessening the impact of COVID-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus. The mask order, which was first imposed in the summer and extends at least through Jan. 22, requires anyone over the age of 6 to wear masks in indoor public spaces and outdoors when it’s impossible to stay at least 6 feet away from others.

It seems like the convenient excuse for this year’s forest fires comes down to: blame the power companies!
I think we should put the blame where it really lies: with the brainless “enviro-nuts” who block all logging/thinning/forest management moves.
Needless to say, forest debris and easily burned brush accumulate, giving a fire that much more to burn.
When I looked at a recent copy of the R-G with its front-page photo of Rep. Peter DeFazio and Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, the first thought that crossed my mind was there are the three not-so-wise men.
