The purported facts on the ban on wood-burning stoves from supposed authorities regarding the issue are questionable at least. They appear to be contrived or at least assembled in a prejudicial manner against the wood burning industry, as opposed to a fair and equal approach.

Not to mention that the governor has taken it upon himself to launch this unprecedented attack on a "5 percent violator" of air quality based largely on its "low-hanging fruit" status. He has done this rather than address the more substantial potential pollution contributors. He is doing it without heartfelt concern regarding public input other than the "token" meetings held at various locations.

There are thousands affected by this onerous action of his. They vote and they will remember this.
