Another hunt talker and I went up tho council and spoke when Judy had her no net loss bill that would have made it illegal to donate or sell private land into public interest. Like say to Idaho fish and game, The mule deer fountain or RMEF.
Despite being outnumber by frustrated citizens she insisted on speaking about "how to wrestle back our lands".
When I use the example of the Elliott state Forrest in Oregon and what a financial disaster it has been for the state.
Her response was "thats Oregon we don't like how Oregon does things"
Completely ignoring how hard it is for a state to afford to keep large Forrest without them going to auction.
When challenged about how they would pay for Forrest fires (like the 95,000acre one ripping through there now) after they wrestle back "there" land.
She replied "well we would like to think the federal government would cover the cost"
after you wrestle the land away you think that they should pay for it?
When asked who will pay for the many miles of Forrest service roads and trail maintenance. One of them replied "the county already maintains those so there should be no additional cost. That is an outright lie and couldn't be further from the truth.
What these politicians want is to have total control with no checks and balances.
They want to use your tax dollars to give them that control!
She has been spreading this for a long time.
