A Blue Tinge in the West

A Blue Tinge in the West



Actually it may be blue-green:



Environmentalism, once sneered at in the spacious, resource-rich West, is gaining a foothold as tourism and adventure sports gain economic importance...




This isn't tree-hugger environmentalism, it's huntin' and fishin' environmentalism. My northern Wisconsin roots tell me that's no contradiction.



One facet the LA Times doesn't touch is the up-for-grabs nature of western voters. Ross Perot's best performance in 1992 was in two kinds of counties: rural cantankerous and high-growth rootless. States like Colorado, Nevada and Arizona have both.
