Public Lands Panel Will Report In 2015

The Idaho Legislature’s Federal Lands Interim Committee will take its time studying whether the state could or should acquire public lands controlled by the federal government. Sen. Chuck Winder, a Boise Republican and committee co-chairman, said the group has until the 2015 legislative session to make its recommendations. “This is not a process we’re going to do real speedily or without proper investigation of the issues,” Winder said. “No real recommendations will be made to the next session of the Legislature.” The committee convened for the first time Friday at the Statehouse/ Clark Corbin , IdahoED News.
