Heather Scott believes in protecting Idaho's waters

The ongoing misinformation being portrayed by the Democrats and their supporters shows they care nothing about the facts or the truth and only about smearing creditability.

I’d like to set the record straight about Heather Scott and her stance on exotic species and protecting Lake Pend Oreille, the Pend Oreille Rivers and waters within Idaho.

She is strongly in favor of protecting the quality of all Idaho waters. As an aquatic biologist, Heather spent much of the first 10 years she lived in north Idaho working on various aquatic studies on the lower Pend Oreille River from Albeni Falls dam downstream to Boundary dam.

She was actively involved in studying the fisheries (including bull trout), water quality issues and nuisance aquatic plants issues. She specifically worked on a two year pilot study in the Pend Oreille River to determine if a biological control (milfoil weevils) could be produced in enough quantity to effectively control Eurasian milfoil without chemicals. She understands more about the biological and the physical processes of the river and lake than any other candidate and certainly more than her opponent.

These are the facts. Misquoting her on only shows the speaker or writer’s ignorance.
