In the laboratory of ideas, results should count. Recently, I introduced the Self-Sufficient Community Lands Act, House Resolution 2316, which would set aside up to 2 percent of the 193 million acres in the national forest system for state and local management. Sadly, some critics seem uninterested in whether local management of federal lands might restore forest health, reduce catastrophic fires and revive rural economies.The Lewiston Tribune's Marty Trillhaase recently wrote that the bill "might sound appealing" to those living in one of Idaho's struggling timber communities. Indeed it does -- the idea came from a bipartisan group of county commissioners in the 1st Congressional District. Idahoans are alarmed by our forest crisis. More here.

Question: Do you support/oppose Labrador's Self-Sufficient Community Lands Act?
