State Mulls Getting Out Of Cabin Biz

The state will take public comments for 90 days, starting Thursday, on a plan to get out of owning lots on which private owners build and own cabins, in some cases by giving the lessees a chance to get ownership of the land. The board also voted to extend current lease terms for one year, but move leases after that up to 4 percent of the land value for annual rents, from the current 2.5 percent/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. More here.

Question: Should the state sell the land that they're now leasing to the owners of private lakeside columns?
