I found the concerns expressed by Sealaska’s Executive Vice President in the Aug. 21 edition of the Empire in an article titled, “USDA’s Sherman discusses forest transition in Juneau,” puzzling. Harris claims that the roadless rule prevents building roads to mining projects like the Niblack Mine on Prince of Wales Island. To borrow a phrase from Mark Twain, Mr. Harris’ “imperfectly informed” opinion is directly contradicted by the language of the Roadless Rule.
