Elgar can fix problems

I'm concerned about the diminishing water quality of our precious Lake Pend Oreille.

Steve Elgar, candidate for the Idaho House of Representatives is a nationally-known water resources scientist and believes we must take a new approach to combating milfoil by researching long-term alternatives to chemical poisoning of our lake.

Steve also opposes the Rock Creek mine because it offers little economic benefit at tremendous risk to our lake.

If you think water is important to North Idaho and want a hard-working expert to represent us, vote for Steve Elgar in November. He has my vote.
