I live a mile or two from the tongass NF in Haines Ak and regularly hunt, fish and recreate on the tongass in my back yard and elsewhere in SEAK. As a local assembly member I am made aware of the massive positive contribution an intact and roadless tongass has on our local economy. Haines has little to nothing to gain by relaxing this management policy but further road development on the tongass will seriously affect the local and regional economies we depend on. Similarly our food subsistence is reliant on contiguous ecosystems throughout the archipelago. The benefit derived from such a policy change is focused on a small number of extraction interests, most or all of whom are not significant contributors to our regional economies. Please evaluate this change based on the needs of today and tomorrow not a failed model from the past
