FOREST
CAMPAIGN: ROAD WRECKED
Taxpayers
for Common Sense documents the $10 billion road maintenance
backlog in our nation's forests. This backlog negatively effects
American taxpayers, yet the Forest Service, Congress, and
the Bush administration have failed to reduce this burden
by encouraging or implementing common sense road construction
and maintenance policies.
