Public Lands Task Force Report
Title: Public Lands Task Force Report
After accessing the URL cited below, I feel obligated to spread
the information inasmuch as it implicates not only forests and other
public (taxpayers') lands in Latah County, but also the whole range
of such lands across beautiful Idaho. If you previously heard of the
hearings and research leading up to this public document -- public
comment on which ends today, Feb. 1 --, congratulations. Although I
try to be alert to public hearings of this sort, I cannot recall
having seen one posted in Latah Co. Just as the US-95 hearings are
being scheduled in Troy and not in Moscow, perhaps it escaped
attention?
What's
most vital in this matter is full and fair public participation in
the creation of public "collaboratives" which will be the
political vehicle for planning, redesigning and implementing
stewardship over our public lands. I'm not convinced that the Task
Force adequately represents the citizen and "non-economic"
interests (perhaps everything is economic) .

I would suggest
reading the The Federal Lands Task Force Working Group Report,
"Breaking the Gridlock: Federal Land Pilot Projects in
Idaho." It is available at
http://www2.state.id.us/lands/LandBoard/fltf.htm.
