Scotchman Peaks bill needs revision

The purpose of this column is to formally request reconsideration of your support for the Scotchman Peaks congressional bill. Our opposition is based on 44 years of serving the sportsmen of North Idaho as Idaho Department Fish and Game commissioners. As a group — Pete Thompson, Idaho Department of Fish & Game commissioner from 1972-1984; Dick Hansen, 1984-1996; Nancy Hadley, 1996-2005; Tony McDermott, 2005-2013; and Brad Corkill, 2013 to present — all oppose a wilderness designation for Scotchman Peaks as currently written. D. Hansen passed away in 2015, but voiced his opposition to Pete Thompson and Tony McDermott on numerous occasions prior to his death.
