Sen. Jon Tester introduced his Forest Jobs and Recreation Act last week to mixed reviews. Supporters call it a huge boon to the flagging timber industry, an important collaboration between loggers and environmentalists, and a vital step to saving Montana’s forests. Critics argue the bill isn’t financially sustainable, that it only serves special interest groups who helped craft the legislation, and that, if it does pass, it will create a mess of legal problems. We cover all sides—including columns from Rick Bass and George Ochenski—on Tester’s first big test.

Noise
American Central Dust sounds pleasant enough. Jay Farrar's rich and
nuanced vocal delivery mingles smoothly with strings played well at a
mid-tempo beat, but this music is best enjoyed while directing your
attention elsewhere. Unfortunately, careful listening does not improve
the experience.
