The taxpayers have been bilked for $1.6 billion by Maxxam owner Charles Hurwitz's S&L schemes. The cost is triple the loss from all 659,000 robberies occurring annually across the nation. If the law is "three strikes and you're out", what should we do with those who perpetrate the equivalent of over a million strikes? If you defaulted on a $160,000 mortgage and had the hutzpah to demand a house of similar value in exchange, wouldn't the bank boot you out of the office? Why are the rules suddenly being changed upside down when the amount is $1.6 billion? To coddle Hurwitz with offers of land in exchange for Headwaters is to abandon any claim to working in the public interest. Tell Senator Feinstein, President Clinton, Deputy Secretary of the Interior John Garamendi, Governor Wilson, Senator Boxer, etal whose interest they should be working in, that Headwaters Forest is 60,000 acres not 3000 or 4000, and it belongs to the taxpayers and should be repossessed immediately and in its entirety.
