Buddy of mine is a forester with the COE. He handles gov timber sales, grazing and dredge/material contracts. He is still working and technically not getting paid. Somebody has to oversee that work and the incoming $$ to make sure nobody fudges. If they send him home, the contractors won't be supervised and will have to cease work. There's a crap ton of folks who will be affected just in his realm.


You gonna pull them pistols, or whistle Dixie?
