The only way the GAO could have possibly actually stumbled into actually doing their job on the proposed land swap deal on Mt. Hood is that it had to have been completly off the radar screeen of the Bushies. Perhaps the development company hadn't donated enough to Republicans...
The idea that 120 acres of public land at Government Camp on Mt. Hood could be valued only $3.8 million dollars is absurd. It's on the top of a friggin' mountain and one of the biggest tourist attractions in the state. This has public rip-off written all over it.
I'm hoping that the new congress shares the GAOs concerns when they open next January and any further legislation on this issue will look out for the taxpayers first and the developers a distant second.
