Title: "Environmentalist lobby's flaw" radio episode
Description: An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on a flaw of the environmental lobby, specifically criticizing their frequent "my way or the highway" approach. For example, Democrats Oregon Congressman Peter DeFazio and California Congressman George Miller had collaborated with Republican Congressman Greg Walden on a forest health bill, but because it was a compromise, AuCoin states that other environmentalists were dissatified and the congressmen ended up dropping the bill. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2003.
