• U.S. judge tosses out new Bush administration rules for national forests
• Rules allowed shorter environmental review for commercial projects
• Plaintiff says projects might have led to loss of species
• Government lawyers say they haven't decided whether to appeal
SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- A federal judge on Friday tossed out new Bush administration rules that gave national forest managers more discretion to approve logging and other commercial projects without lengthy environmental reviews.
U.S. District Court Judge Phyllis Hamilton ruled that the government failed to adequately consider the effects the rules would have on the environment and neglected to properly gather public comment on the issue.
