                                        BY SCHROEDER
                                                                        
  1                               A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
  2    STATING FINDINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE REGARDING THE ACCESS OF THE MEMBERS TO THE
  3        INFORMATION AND VIEWPOINT OF THE BROADEST POSSIBLE GEOGRAPHIC RANGE OF THE
  4        STATE OF IDAHO, AND URGING THAT THE LEWISTON MORNING TRIBUNE  CONTINUE  TO
  5        BE DELIVERED TO THE LEGISLATURE.
                                                                        
  6    Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
  7        WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of Idaho is composed of citizen leg-
  8    islators  whose  authority  is  derived from the people of the state whom they
  9    represent; and
 10        WHEREAS, the Legislature meets in  the  state  capital,  Boise,  which  is
 11    geographically distant from much of the state and separated from the citizens;
 12    and
 13        WHEREAS,  the  Legislature  has  continually  sought to bring the citizens
 14    closer to the business conducted in Boise through  more  open  meetings,  more
 15    public  debate,  and greater access through telephone, computer and other con-
 16    nections; and
 17        WHEREAS, among the most traditional, yet most effective, means of communi-
 18    cation, the daily newspaper ranks as a superior resource to  the  Legislature;
 19    and
 20        WHEREAS, traditionally, the newspapers from throughout the state have been
 21    delivered  to  the Legislature to facilitate the sense of community created by
 22    daily contact with the issues and people at home; and
 23        WHEREAS, the Lewiston Morning Tribune has been a reliable connection  with
 24    the  northern portions of the state and has been a leading source of local and
 25    state information and perspective.
 26        NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the Second  Regular  Ses-
 27    sion  of the Fifty-fifth Idaho Legislature, the Senate and the House of Repre-
 28    sentatives concurring therein, that we express our appreciation for the deliv-
 29    ery of the Lewiston Morning Tribune and the other local newspapers which  have
 30    been provided to the Legislature. We further express our concern that the Lew-
 31    iston Morning Tribune will no longer be delivered and will leave a significant
 32    void  in  the  information  resources provided to the Legislature. We urge and
 33    request that the practice of delivering the Lewiston Morning Tribune  be  con-
 34    tinued  in  order to sustain the essential access to the widest possible range
 35    of information and viewpoint.
