On April 29, The Oregonian published an article wherein Oregon Department of Transportation spokesman Tony Andersen dismissed community concern about the agency’s postfire roadside clear-cutting as
part of a misinformation campaign led by Cascadia Wildlands. That same day, arborists, landowners and the mayor of the small logging town Gates testified before the Oregon Legislature about ODOT’s gross malfeasance.
Over the next few weeks, more whistleblowers came forward to publicly decry ODOT’s “hazard tree” removal project with explosive first-hand accounts of indiscriminate clear-cutting of living old-growth trees, contractors logging while under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and other reprehensible behavior.
