The Twin Falls Times-News is reporting today that the Magic Valley regional supervisor for Idaho Fish & Game, who had held the position for eight years, was demoted after he wrote a letter to the editor critical of a proposed large wind farm’s impacts on wildlife. “(Supervisor David) Parrish's comments prompted a high-ranking legislator to contact Gov. C.L. ‘Butch’ Otter and express concern that Parrish had violated the governor's office's media policy,” the Times-News reported, in an article by reporters Jared Hopkins and David Cooper. “Fish and Game announced the demotion Monday to state employees - but did not do so publicly. Deputy Director Virgil Moore confirmed the change Wednesday, and said Parrish's letter to the Times-News about the 185-turbine China Mountain wind farm contributed to his demotion.” Click here to read the full story.
