What Good Is Free Speech in a Closet? : A Story of Cover-up in Planning for Our Grandchildren's Drinking Water

"My main hope is that all citizens will get informed of all sides of this issue (the ancient national forest - water quality & quantity protection versus commercial logging & unneeded human entry - risk to municipal water supply), & have a chance to openly discuss it. In order for this to happen, experience of the Bull Run Interest Group has shown, we cannot rely on those best able to inform us. We have to inform ourselves. Speaking to the Forest Service & (Portland, Oregon) Water Bureau & major print media has been like speaking in a closet. My main gripe is, at a time when the government was making decisions vital to many; when much information on the issue was being given to the public; & when citizen input was being invited - presumably to help influence these decisions - at that time, the public was being given faulty information - information favoring the timber industry."--Joseph L. Miller, Jr. The Bull Run Interest Group has collected a dossier of facts. It is available as an open & ongoing public file in the Multnomah County library. The file is maintained by the Bull Run Interest Group. This book is a partial abstract of those files.Miller, Joseph L., Jr. is the author of 'What Good Is Free Speech in a Closet? : A Story of Cover-up in Planning for Our Grandchildren's Drinking Water', published 1985 under ISBN 9780961488703 and ISBN 0961488700.
