Herndon will keep Idaho open and accessible
Bonner County Daily Bee | UPDATED 6 months AGO
One of the things I love most about living in North Idaho is the beauty of the nature that surrounds us. My child and I are outdoors, including on public lands, every single day.
When I got a text from a group called "PAC for Public Lands" telling me Jim Woodward protects our public lands, I wanted to believe it. Then I looked up his vote.
Woodward voted "yes" on SB1086 — making it a crime to use public land when the Forest Service posts a "use restrictions apply" sign. Not a fine. Criminal trespass up to a felony.
The money behind those texts? $95,000 from Washington, D.C. — from the group that spent $120 million electing Kamala Harris. Another $60,000 from a Biden donor in Eagle. Not one dollar from our counties.
Scott Herndon passed the bill protecting Priest Lake. He passed SB1258 keeping access open at Lake Pend Oreille.
I don't care what a D.C. PAC's texts say. I care about who votes to keep my family on the land we love.
