2-1 FB Judge Reversal

 They say Boise’s a small town and truer words have never been spoken. I often go to lunch in this tiny little spot where there are almost 90% loyal, repeat customers. A very distinguished gentleman comes in 2-3 times a week and sits at the lunch counter. Seems like a very nice guy. Somebody told me he was a federal judge and was originally from a farming and ranching family. Turns out he is Judge Edward Lodge who made a recent judgement that revokes grazing permits on 48,000 acres of BLM rangeland used by a lot of cattlemen in Idaho for grazing. Wyatt Prescott, Executive Director of the Idaho Cattlemans Association isn’t particularly enamorate of this ruling by a big judge in a small town: “Another decision was made in the courtroom instead of out on the ground level with the agency folks who have the expertise and experience to make those decisions. It’s completely frustrating and disappointing for the cattle industry to see this type of ruling.”
