McInnis Selling Trees. Next On The List? Bridges...

Yesterday I read with interest a story about the “Friends of McInnis Canyons” selling trees in an effort to raise money:

I busted out my calculator and did some simple math.  What if the good Congressman himself decided that restoring this area to its native habitat was a good idea?  How many cottonwood trees could he buy with his massive PAC — you know, the one he promised to use to fund breast cancer research…?

Assuming the Congressman has about $700,000 left in his PAC account after illegally paying Mike Hesse, Sean Duffy, his wife, etc. I believe he could buy about 4,667 cottonwood trees.

Now THAT would be some serious habitat improvement.
