After more than a decade of organizing, J.H. Baxter's president was sentenced to 90 days in prison. While we are happy to see some amount of accountability, the light sentencing is little more than a slap on the wrist.
The president of the J.H. Baxter wood products company was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Eugene. In January, Georgia Baxter-Krause pleaded guilty to multiple environmental violations and making false statements to federal regulators.
