Show Notes
A federal judge in Alaska dismissed a lawsuit seeking increased logging in Tongass National Forest, preserving an Obama-era plan that limits heavy cuts. The decision, which keeps a new Trump administration plan on hold, was based on the judges interpretation of a 1990 law. Logging advocates argue the current setup has hurt their operations, while environmental lawyers celebrate the ruling as a victory for old-growth forest preservation. The plaintiffs have 30 days to appeal the final judgment.
