text: Not a "shoestring budget" at all.
  
  Tod True and the not-so-true legal gang are charging huge hourly rates and making many millions through what has become a very profitable enviro litigation industry. Especially the business of holding-up public timber sales until they are paid huge settlement fees like the $340,000 collected over an Elliott timber sale inside the 1500 acres that the state then sold to Seneca.
  
  The sale of the whole Elliott is just the start. The short sighted, self serving actions of the enviro attorneys are setting it up for the timber industry's politicians to justify privatizing more public forests.
  
  Wyden and DeFazio have already sought to do this with the westside BLM forests. With Oregon's Dems giving away the Elliott, I expect they will now be more empowered.
