Federal Lands to State of Idaho: U. of Idaho cost study findings

[Sawtooth]

I thought this study's findings were of interest. http://www.ktvb.com/story/news/local/2014/12/08/federal-lands-transfer-cost/20113231/ Will be interesting to see if our Governor and State Senate members will try to discredit its findings when the big money comes knocking on their door. It would be interesting to hear Montana's Senator and SWF try to explain how Idaho's finding and their findings could be so much different.

During the governor debates Otter said it would be to costly. His tune may change but hopefully not.

And this is what they'll cling too:

Researchers saw a profit of $24 million a year under one scenario where Idaho had the highest harvest levels sold at the highest prices

Never under estimate the legislature's capacity to do something stupid when ideology is more important than the facts.
