Title
"Ban Biscuit" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on Republican U.S. Senator from Oregon, Gordon Smith, and his logging proposal following the Biscuit Fire. The Biscuit Fire had burned roughly 500,000 acres in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest in 2002. AuCoin says that Smith was pressuring Oregon conservationists with an ultimatum. He notes that Senator Ron Wyden has objected to Gordon Smith's actions as an appropriation writer. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode probably aired in 2004.
