> 4. Safety: Idaho allows forests to be managed to prevent destruction of housing from huge wildfires.

I just spent a month in central Oregon and there were proscribed burns going on all over the place. It was the most forest management I've seen in any state.

This is coded language to mean "we can pull resources from federal/state lands but not pay for them".
I thought it was coded language for "we can let logging corporations plunder the forest with no oversight."

Both works to be honest.
