The city is grasping at straws on this issue.

It is the position of a small group that has alot of power with politics in Forks that has minipluated the city government into taking this position based on false scare tacticts of things that might happen.

If the same small group had the other stance it wouldnt even be an issue.

After the logging issue out there a decade ago I can see it from their side but if they were more opened minded about the whole thing and looked at the bigger picture and looked at what WSR has done to similar economic areas in BC and such they could see that such a change will be good for the future of Forks.

Unfortunately most people are looking at today and tomorrow and not the future. Forks has an ecomemy that is very dependent on tourism and change to them is risk.

I you put yourself in their shoes it is understandable that they have the concern they do.

All people can do is let them know how important this is and how it will bring them to Forks to spend money. They will take it how ever they will..

This was going to happen eventualy everyone knew that, some prepared and some did not.
