Subject: 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.
