Idaho Just Got Sold with Alexis Pickering

Alexis Pickering is the executive director of Conservation Voters of Idaho and came in to discuss how a portion of Idaho state land just got sold to a wealthy investor. There is a mandate in the Idaho constitution that requires lands be managed for the highest financial benefit, and in this case, it was worth more to do the one time sale than it was to continue the existing multiuse engagements. This is exactly what most people fear will happen if federal lands in Idaho were transferred to the state.
