On the heels of yesterday’s story (cited here) about Bush overturning Clinton-legacy controls on road-building in national forests, Kerry is out today proposing a cut of $100 million dollars in timber industry subsidies to invest in & help preserve our national forests.

A great strategic move by Kerry to release this proposal one day after Bush’s action, starkly showing the difference between the two candidates on environmental issues. It couldn’t be more night and day.

As I wrote here long ago, the environment is a low-hanging-fruit issue for Kerry, one that he can easily exploit and often, and he should.
