BOISE, Idaho (AP) — State officials have rejected an investment firm’s request to reconsider its massive land swap proposal involving state land in and around McCall for timberland in northern Idaho. Republican Idaho Gov. Brad Little and other members of the Idaho Land Board voted 5-0 on Tuesday against the request by Trident Holdings to rescind an August rejection letter from the Idaho Department of Lands.

Trident Holdings says the state’s valuation of the lands is way off.
