I live in Hailey

Had dinner at a local restaurant and learned that almost the entire staff of the SNRA was fired. They were already short employees going into summer. Our ranger was literally in tears.
I haven’t yet heard about the rest of the Sawtooth National Forest and the Ketchum District.

Everyone please write to Rep. Simpson, our cowardly congressman who has said nothing in defense of his constituents or the SNRA that he supposedly loves so much.

The beauty of the Sawtooth Mountain Chain in Central Idaho is breathtaking. Many years ago, I visited Ketchum, but I did not travel to Hailey. Vacationers whom I spoke with in Ketchum stated that Hailey offers several interesting attractions.

Calling makes more of an impact than writing. If you write, they'll just send a bullshit letter back telling you they appreciate your concern. Burn up their phone lines.

This is happening everywhere and starting to hurt the very people who voted for him.
