Thank you so much for this article--and coverage of the great potential of cooperatives. I've been involved with cooperatives, mostly food coop's, for a number of years. Now, with the recent announcement that a local paperboard plant, Smurfit-Stone Container, will be closing and laying off 417 workers, I am thinking that it could provide an opening for all those workers and the loggers and haulers, etc. so dependent upon the mill to become owners of the plant and keep the control and profits right here in western montana! Thanks for the inspiration!
