We may have made a big splash with this …
let’s see if we can swim it to shore!
H.C.R 18 CONCURRENT RESOLUTION CONCERNING BEAR LAKE
Because you are interested in Bear Lake elevations and such, I thought you would be interested in this news splash.
Instigated by Bear Lake Watch, with the cooperation of our cosigners on the Bear River System, PacifiCorp, Bear River Water Users Association as well as local officials;
The Bear Lake Resolution is now officially in process in the Utah legislature! Hopefully, a similar version will be in the pipe in Idaho soon. This concurrent resolution of the Legislature and Governor encourages action regarding
Bear Lake.
Highlighted Provisions:
Recognizes the characteristics, benefits, and challenges of Bear Lake;
Urges solutions to address challenges to Bear Lake;
Urges continued cooperation with the state of Idaho to develop joint expectations for the continued health, beauty, and enjoyment of Bear Lake; and encourages the development of opportunities for participation of a wide-range of stakeholders to develop recommendations.
While this may be just a Resolution, a resolution is the means by which the States can express commitment to resolving issues. The hope is that it will start a conversation, bring people together to learn more about the lake and cooperatively set a good course for the future of Bear Lake.
We certainly appreciate Representative Logan Wilde for sponsoring this resolution in the House and anticipate that our good Senator Lyle Hillyard will carry it on the Senate side.
You can follow the progress on the Utah Legislature site. We'll send updates too.

If you like this idea, let your legislators know …
on either side of the border!
