An independent review of missing Ernestina lumber is needed.

The 2015 decision to move the valuable lumber out of dry, secure storage and to just dump it out of sight and off to the side of a muddy trail seems shady.

Spokesman Jonathan Carvalho stated that it was determined that a City DPI employee made an honest mistake and gave the Ernestina-Morrissey's wood away.

The City responds to some questions, but unveils a lot of ignorance, about what happened to the rare yellow pine timbers donated to the Schooner Ernestina.
