Fate of Appropriations Riders
Rocky Barker sheds some light on a lesser known appropriations rider that Larry Craig sought to pass. The language would have limited water taken from Idaho reservoirs for salmon recovery.
Craig salmon-water rider has uncertain future
There has been speculation about another appropriations rider in response to the Senator’s wish to increase grazing (errr… “fuels reduction”) in Jarbidge following the Murphy Complex Fire.
Needless to say, Craig’s ability to ride these will be an uphill endeavor considering his loss of leadership position.
