IDL is silent on future PL auctions

SANDPOINT — The Idaho Department of Lands announced on Tuesday that 62 state lease lots at Priest Lake were going up for auction next month.

Those lots are held be lessees who more or less wanted to participate in IDL’s plan to get out of the cottage site business.

But IDL was silent Wednesday on how it intends to proceed with the auction of lots held by people who have disagreed with or challenged the department’s divestment process.

Department spokeswoman Emily Callihan could not be reached for comment and did not return messages left at her office and on her cellphone.
