Pocatello, ID: How much do politics play in the EIS? And how much will politics play into the final management decisions?
The Draft EISs display the consequences of any decisions that might be made in the Record of Decision. To the extent that elected officials represent the people who are the owners of the public lands, politics has a role to play in the decision to be made. However, the level and nature of political influence on the funding or fate of the Project is beyond the scope of analysis for the EIS.
