Upcoming legislative committee meeting
on transfer of federal lands to Idaho |
|
September 3, 2014 |
To the Editor:
Good morning everyone. On occasion, “We the
People” have an opportunity to express our
opinion to those that make the laws of the state
of Idaho.
An opportunity to do so will occur on Friday,
September 12 at noon at the Sandpoint Events Center, 102
South Euclid Street, Sandpoint, Idaho. I cannot
express enough just how important this meeting
can be to our community. We need to let the
Idaho Legislature's Federal Lands Interim
Committee know that we not only want, but expect
them to follow through on their assignment to
work towards getting our federal lands into the
hands of Idaho.
If we do not show up then these legislators will
believe that we do not care about this subject.
As it is, the chairman, Senator Chuck Winder,
does not believe we can make this happen. Utah
is light years ahead of Idaho in making this
happen, but we as the citizens of Idaho need to
make sure that they do follow through on this.
This will not be a mission that will be solved
overnight. It will take time and it will take
work, and if the members of this committee are
not dedicated to making this happen, then they
need to find people that will follow through,
even if it is members of the public working as a
task force for this committee.
Please take the time to attend this meeting; I
have attached the flier (see the link below). If
you do not know where the Sandpoint Events
Center is, as you travel south on Highway 95 in
the city limits of Sandpoint, instead of turning
left to go to Coeur d'Alene, stay right going
towards Priest River and it will be on the left
just after you make your right turn.
Even if you don’t want to speak, there is power
in numbers. Please take the time out of your
busy schedule to make a difference. Please pass
this notice on to all of your Boundary and
Bonner County contacts.
Thanks,
Donna Capurso
