• A Rotten Deal for Taxpayers: Building Roads to Nowhere in the Tongass National ForestThe Tongass National Forest in Alaska stands alone as the only National Forest where the U.S. Forest Service engages in the fiscally irresponsible practice of using taxpayer dollars to build roads in hopes of enticing private logging companies to cut down centuries-old trees. The Forest Service is using taxpayer money to build roads for the logging companies, even where the cost of the roads far exceeds the revenues the public receives from the timber sales.
  
  
• Tongass Logging Subsidies -- Cost to Taxpayers
  Every year the U.S. Forest Service wastes tens of millions of taxpayer dollars in congressionally-supported subsidies to private timber companies. Since 1982, the Forest Service has lost over $850 million subsidizing the timber industry in Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. That equates to an average annual loss of nearly $40 million. It is long past time for the Forest Service to come clean with the American public about how much it truly spends and put a stop to these wasteful subsidies.
