Here's a look at future of Craig's agenda
Resignation may threaten senator's work on salmon, immigration, dam relicensing and mining reform. From the Idaho Statesman: If U.S. Sen. Larry Craig steps down at the end of this week, it would leave some of his agenda for Idaho and the nation in limbo.
The contacts and clout Craig developed over 27 years won't be replaced soon, and that means Idaho won't have as much influence over federal decisions. What's at stake? Decisions on everything from fish and dams to burying forgotten veterans. Idaho Power Co. hopes to complete relicensing of its three Hells Canyon dams on the Snake River by the end of President Bush's term. Craig won't be around to encourage federal agencies, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, to speed up deliberations. Craig singlehandedly kept the Bureau of Land Management from moving top managers at Boise's National Interagency Fire Center to Washington in 2005. And he and Rep. Mike Simpson were able to get through Congress in one day the agreement that resolved the Nez Perce Tribe's water rights to the Snake River.
