Get out and give us more money!

Although the issues aren't quite environmental, the sentiment is surely there. This feature appeared on my hometown tv station today:

Wallace Stegner said in The American West as Living Space, "Never mind the federal aid highways, and the federally financed dams, and the write-offs against flood control, and the irrigation water delivered at a few dollars an acre foot. Take for granted federal assistance, but damn federal control. Your prsence as absentee landlord offends us, Uncle. Get out, and give us more money."

It appears that the old school values of the American West live on. In Idaho.
