It's much better to find it when the problem is small rather than to wait until it has spread.

All indications are that it's a very minor infestation. We want to be careful we don't spread it around or introduce it, but it doesn't appear that that's happened. I think we caught it in time.

Idaho Power is making this issue very public, and is adamant about gaining support any way they can. While they are quick to blame H.B. 800 for the recent drop in their credit rating, they should really be blaming themselves. Their tactics only earned them negative publicity, and they shouldn't be surprised that their credit rating reflects that.

Without water, we do not grow. We are not asking Idaho Power to forego any of their water rights, but they do need to understand that their needs are not a priority over everyone else in the state.
