Jeb Bush stepping down from timber company board
By By Michael J. Mishak December 29, 2014
MIAMI (AP) Taking another step toward a presidential run, Jeb Bush is resigning from the board of timber company Rayonier Inc.
The Jacksonville, Fla.-based firm said in a regulatory filing Monday that the former Florida governor would step down at the end of the year. Bush has been a director of Rayonier since 2008. The company, set up as a real estate investment trust, owns, leases or manages about 2.6 million acres of forests in the U.S. and New Zealand, according to its website.
Bush's move comes as he explores a presidential run and unwinds some of his business commitments. The potential Republican contender had already confirmed plans to step down from the board of Tenet Healthcare Corp. and leave his advisory role with British banking giant Barclays by Dec. 31.
Aides say Bush is reviewing all of his business and civic engagements as he considers a White House bid.

(20,583 posts)2. Rayonier has left a mess
in our community- dirty company. They tried to pile their dioxin laden plant (after they closed their mill) in a neighborhood landfill - . They want to pile it up 60 feet tall and put plastic over it.
They left a polluted bay and ex-workers have told us how they dumped illegally under a pier at night.
Out group will make sure it is known that Jeb Bush has left the board - and the mess is still there.

He's a Bush. It's not like he's doing anything honest and above board.
