The annual “Loggers and Haulers Day at the Legislature” was a success as 20 Idaho loggers made the trip to Boise for the March event sponsored by Associated Logging Contractors-Idaho.
According to a report from ALC-Idaho President Mark Mahon, the group met with members of the Idaho Land Board, worked with the Idaho Dept. of Lands and Idaho Dept. of Transportation and also met with key officials including the speaker of the house, lieutenant governor and governor.
