Idaho Tells Feds Back Off Wilds Rules

The Idaho Legislature will send letters to Congress and federal officials saying that Idaho citizens should be involved in any efforts to designate more land in the state as wilderness. The action from lawmakers comes after an order from the Department of the Interior that has been criticized by many Idaho elected officials. The Idaho Senate approved a memorial , to be sent to the Interior Department and members of Congress, saying Idaho wouldn’t support designating land as wilderness without public input. The Senate vote, like the House vote on Feb. 21, was largely on party lines, with Democrats opposing the memorial/ Brad Iverson-Long , Idaho Reporter. More here .
