[at-l] Chip-Mills and Hogs---

[hopefl@juno.com (hopefl@juno.com)]

A few years back they tried to put chip mills in the TN valley near
Chattanooga. They got beat. I haven't followed this thread so I don't
know if the mills are a done deal yet or not. It is possible to defeat
the mills, it happened here. 

Those things are a loose/loose deal. They tried to persuade by saying
they would be here for the long haul, that they were investing millions
in the facility and would not abandon it. Garbage, they would have
destroyed 100k acres of forest per year which mean after about 6 years
they would need to relocated due to transportation considerations. The
local people would foot the bill through taxes so they really had little
investment. There were going to be only 2 dozen jobs which would be lost
after the mills relocated. 

What really angered me is that the chips were not even for use in America
but were destined for Korea. Hopeful
