Idaho Court Allows 1st 4 Mega-Loads
The Idaho Supreme Court has ruled in favor of allowing four
mega-loads of oil refinery equipment to travel scenic U.S. Highway 12 in
north-central Idaho, overturning a lower-court judge who revoked the
permits for the four giant truckloads. The court, in a 21-page ruling,
found that it didn’t have jurisdiction to revoke the permits for the
loads, and neither did the district court. “It is entirely
possible that Respondents have real grievances with ITD’s decision in
this case,” the court held. “Even so, the Constitution and the
Legislature have limited the Court’s power to act here. … The Court’s
only choice is to remand with instructions to dismiss without
prejudice”/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. More here. (AP File Photo)
Question: Do you think this split 3-2 decision stinks as much as I do?
