Kane: Other Payette County oil and gas leases ‘pretty much the same’ as Pearce’s

Deputy Attorney General Brian Kane reviewed oil and gas leases on Payette County’s website, and reported to the Senate Ethics Committee this morning, “Each of these leases, for most of the operable purposes, are pretty much the same.” He submitted a packet of leases for the panel’s review. Some members had questioned whether Senate Resources Chairman Monty Pearce’s lease with Snake River Oil & Gas had more favorable terms than other leases.
