| January 23, 2025 Good morning, Thank you so much for your recent letter concerning the State of Utah’s lawsuit that our office supported over the federal ownership of undesignated Bureau of Land Management lands in our western states. Many people contacted my office with letters of support, opposition, and general interest on the topic and I am grateful for the widespread engagement on this important issue. On Monday, January 13, the United States Supreme Court declined to hear this case, so for now, this case regarding undesignated BLM lands is on hold. However, the conversation about federalism, public recreation access, and management practices is one that our state and country need to have. Regardless of your position, I am thankful for your communication and hope you stay engaged as we set priorities for Idaho lands together. I recently put out a newsletter on this topic and have included a link below. It articulates my position as well as my concerns regarding federal ownership of Idaho lands and their management practices. It may address some of the concerns and correct some of the misinformation that was spread about the Utah lawsuit. Labrador Letter – Idaho Lands in Idaho Hands Again, thank you for reaching out on this important issue. Best regards,  |
