Upcoming area meeting of
Federal Lands Interim Committee |
|
September 3, 2014 |
To the Editor:
The Federal Lands Interim Committee is a state
legislative committee set up to study the legal
transfer of federal lands (specifically national
forests) back to the state of Idaho to be owned
and maintained by the state. This committee is
composed of several Senators and
Representatives, including Senate and House
leadership members. I am one of the Senators on
the committee. We had meetings last year and
these are the final meetings before the
committee is dissolved. The meetings are set up
to hear the input of local citizens on the issue
of federal lands transferred back to the state
to be managed and owned by the state. After the
final meetings, there will be a recommendation
by the committee to the legislature on this
issue.
I urge you to come and testify or give your
opinion at the local meetings. This is when
citizens have the opportunity to be heard by the
legislators. A large number of people expressing
their opinion can help with the final
recommendation. Come in great numbers. You count
and I encourage you to come and speak for our
counties, our schools, our children, our
livelihood, our constitutional rights.
Sheryl L. Nuxoll
Idaho State Senator,
(R) Cottonwood |
(Editor's Note: The meeting referred
to is scheduled for Friday, September 12, at
noon at the Sandpoint Events Center, 102 South
Euclid Street, Sandpoint, Idaho).
