1.  Describe your philosophy on how the state should manage its public lands. Talk specifically about how you would approach resolving conflicts between resource protection and resource use or extraction.
  Grab a steak knife and fork and start carving up the state lands that are left. Truth be known, what was once a "big pie" is now only a slice.
 
2.  How would you balance management of state-owned timber lands for recreation, so that natural resources -- such as threatened or endangered species -- are protected, but money for school construction is maximized?
  First, no recreation on state-owned lands. Second, search for Bigfoot. Third, grow hemp. Legend: Protects Bigfoot, makes money for schools, candidate gets re-elected!
 
3.  What do you think should be done about people who live illegally aboard boats?
  Get serious! . . . Most of my opponents own boats and "crap" in the state waters just like everyone else. Boats aren't the problem, people are. Boats don't make a dent compared to city and county refuse policies that directly and indirectly affect our everyday quality of life.
