Unneeded traffic adds to flood damage ... stay off!

June 6, 2011
Thanks for the outlet for news, etc., that your new site provides.
 
Today, I want to talk about unnecessary vehicle traffic on the Kootenai River during high water periods.
This traffic increases the erosion damage many times more than the natural river high water. The press,
commissioners, et al,  have no need to go on tour and “see” with no heed to the result of their actions. The Police should keep their boats off the river unless someone is missing or in trouble, period.
 
I understand that there is necessary traffic, but please make sure it is necessary.
 
Thank you.
