| Kudos to commission for trying to fix economy |

Alternative plans would be a great thing. The jobs in Idaho County have gone away because of many factions. Between environmental groups, costs, and unfair competition with our neighbors, for a few, we are fighting for survival. I don't agree with a lot of decisions the commissioners make but on this one I think they deserve kudos for at least trying to help fix our local economy. They may not be right on target but to those of you who think you are, let's hear your alternative plans. You need to put people back to work, keep everything just as it is and keep everyone happy. Sound like a big job? The road department and local schools are possibly going to lose at least 50 percent of their funding also. If that happens, who do you think is going to pick up that tab?
We need jobs to remain here or to increase the work force. None of us wish to see our pristine area devastated but with correct leadership and guidelines, these areas could be selectively logged and still remain pristine. At present, we run the risk of seeing all that pristine area lost with dead and dying timber that is left standing, undergrowth that has flourished, and groups who have put the strangle hold on us for their own benefit. We love the beauty around us but must realize that with current circumstances it can't remain the same. We haven't the finances to just kick back and watch the world go by. We need to work to survive and in order for that to happen, some change need to take place.
So again, let's hear some solutions that don't just put the burdens on property owners.
