ASOTIN - Asotin County is sending a letter in support of the Asotin County Cattlemen Association’s effort to get the rules changed on wolf management.

At Monday's meeting, commissioners approved sending a letter to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife drafted by the Cattlemen Association.

The letter is in support of a wolf management plan that would lower the number of breeding pairs from 15 to eight in a given area in order to allow the hunting of wolves. Commissioner Doug Mattoon said the letter will be submitted as part of Fish and Wildlife’s request for public comment.

Monday commissioners also approved 2010 vehicle rental rates. Departments rent all county vehicles with the money going into a county fund for replacement and repairs.
