The Senate Resources Committee will hear from state Parks Director Nancy Merrill today about the 3rd Street Boat Launch in Coeur d'Alene, which has been a target for possible closure. "We just want to know what's going on," said Sen. Monty Pearce, R-New Plymouth, the committee's chairman, who noted that Sen. John Goedde, R-Coeur d'Alene, asked the panel to review the issue. "We want to get the real facts out," Pearce said. "There've been some ugly accusations made."
