HUNTING/FISHING -- Rep. Heather Scott, R-Blanchard, appears to be trying too hard to be of some significance at the Idaho Legislature.

In particular, her attempts to tweak what Fish and Game officers can do at game and fish check stations are unneeded and unnecessarily meddlesome in basic wildlife enforcement.

"Rep. Heather Scott, R-Blanchard, presented her first three proposed bills today, all dealing with Fish & Game issues," reports S-R Boise staffer Betsy Russell. "The House Resources Committee agreed to introduce all three, but members had lots of questions and concerns about the proposals."
