Wolves get priority

Thu., Jan. 23, 2014

Regarding wolves, education and medical care.

In the state of Idaho, Gov. Butch Otter and the Idaho legislators seem to have no problem coming up with funds or ideas to eradicate Idaho’s wolves. Yet, when it comes to education and medical care for Idaho’s youth and people in need, there seems to be no funding or proactive results available.
