"Nyah” “We told you so.” “Told you so.” “Nyah nyah!” Sometimes – most times – when politicians and special interests scheme against the public interest, all of us have a right – yea, a duty – to stand very tall and say very loudly, “NO.” Then put an end to the underhanded deed they’re trying to underhandedly do. Such is the case in Idaho these days where the good folks are getting a firsthand lesson in why no one – NO ONE – should attempt to sell off – or privatize – lands now owned by the state or the fed. It’s damned hard to put a fence around 172,000 acres and post large signs saying “NO TRESPASSING.” But it’s been done/Barrett Rainey, Ridenbaugh Press. More here.

DFO: Next time you hear one of North Idaho's clueless legislators advocating for the sale of public lands, remind them of this situation. Also, don't vote for them in November. Thoughts?
