On December 20 Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08) announced that the U.S. Forest Service will reappraise the value of federal lands within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, which determines how much Thye-Blatnik funding that St. Louis, Cook, and Lake counties receive annually.
All three counties learned that they would receive substantially less money from Thye-Blatnik because of the way the U.S. Forest Service recently appraised BWCA lands. Under that appraisal, Cook County stood to lose $750,000 per year.
