Gibbons critical of Forest Service in Jarbidge blaze

By Wally Edge

Yes, there are news stories this week that have words other than Gustav, Hanna and convention.

Gov. Jim Gibbons (R-Sparks) made USA Today for something other than a scandal. If he keeps this up he may just make it back to the winner's list this Friday. 

For the lazy:

The U.S. Forest Service predicted that there was a 2% chance that a rural wildfire could escape the  wilderness.  The fire is now within 4 miles of the town of Jarbidge and is only 30% contained.  The fire has grown from 13 square miles to 76 square miles.

Jarbidge has 20 residents.
What is wrong with Gibbons? Is he retarded?
