Wow, when I read this in today's Statesman, my blood pressure spiked. Our legislature spends half its time bemoaning the intrusion of the federal gov't in state affairs, and the other half intruding into local gov't. and agency affairs. (Remember last year when a legislator's son got a parking ticket in the area of the Statehouse, and promptly attempted to rewrite Boise's ticket policy.) In most states, if the Legislature tried to privatize hunting and skew it in favor of the extremely wealthy, they would be thrown out on their butts. But, with a one-party system, they seem to be able to fly in the face of public opinion and not suffer any repercussions. Sad. Mike
