RIPOFF: The great huckleberry heist

I can’t believe the people who are in charge of our forest lands came up with a way to screw the hardworking citizens of Idaho. We have the lowest minimum wage in the country. Our senior citizens struggle to either eat or get their prescriptions. Our young people who struggle to make it on minimum wage pick huckleberries to buy school supplies or just have a little extra income.

Picking huckleberries is not an easy undertaking. This area of our local forest, we do not pay to camp or enjoy our natural beauty. Why should we have to pay $250 and up if we want to sell huckleberries? This is just another way to screw our Idaho citizens.
