BARBIERI: Wrong on land issues

Why does Vito Barbieri want Idaho to take over its Federal forests and rivers? Because, as he says, “Idaho is unable to tap its abundant natural resources.” Do you really want your favorite hunting ground, your special fishing spot, our unspoiled natural beauty, to be auctioned off to developers? Do you want our forests cut and exported to Asia? Our land ripped open to extract minerals and poison rivers? Is this the future you want?
