Idaho's House Resources and Conservation Committee voted 16-1 today in favor of proposed new rules regulating oil and gas drilling in the state, reports Idaho Statesman reporter Rocky Barker, who reports that the lone "no" vote came from Rep. Dick Harwood, R-St. Maries, who worried the rules might be too burdensome for industry. Barker reports that Rep. Lenore Hardy Barrett, R-Challis, said, "The sales point to me is that industry was involved. For now I think we have to drill, baby, drill." You can read Barker's full blog post here about the new rules; if the House and Senate don't vote to oppose them, they go into effect.
