Harwood Fights Road Transfer To Tribe

Item: Harwood protests Highway 95 plan: ITD intends to turn four-mile stretch over to tribe next summer /Tom Hasslinger, CDA Press

More Info: It’s either rip it out or re- pave it and give it away. Either way, a four-mile stretch of the old U.S. 95 will no longer be needed when construction on the new highway near Worley finishes up next summer. Which is why the Idaho Transportation Department has an agreement to give the obsolete road from Worley to north of the casino over to the Coeur d’Alene Tribe when the new highway is complete.

Question: Does Rep. Harwood have a legitimate issue here? Or is this more of the usual Indian bashing that he’s known for?
