These closures are taking place county wide on county, state and federal lands. These are lands that belong to the people and provide access to many of the activities enjoyed by the people of rural Bonner County. Many surrounding states have seen public access dwindle over the past decades and now we are seeing this more and more in Idaho and Bonner county. As commissioner I would stand up against these closures and hold the government accountable to the people and the use of their lands.
