A quick heads-up – the final vote on creating the Wild Sky Wilderness area is expected to occur in the next couple of hours.
It’s on today’s calendar of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The legislation to establish the 106,000-acre wilderness north of Index is part of a package of bills dealing with federal properties. This omnibus bill could pass on a voice vote – which would be kind of anti-climactic given all the heat generated by this proposal.
Senators passed the bill April 10. If it gets House approval, it will go to President Bush who is expected to sign it.
