‘Devastating impacts’: Idaho Gov. Little opposes Simpson’s plan to breach Snake River dams Hayat Norimine and Nicole Blanchard, Idaho Statesman Updated at Share This BOISE (Idaho Statesman) Idaho Gov. Brad Little on Thursday spoke out in opposition to an Idaho congressman’s $33.5 billion plan to remove four Lower Snake River dams in efforts to save endangered salmon. In a new statement, Little praised U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson “for all the work he has done on behalf of the people of Idaho,” but said his position on removal of the dams remains unchanged. “I remain unconvinced that breaching the dams is a silver bullet for salmon recovery,” Little said. “Breaching the dams would have devastating impacts on Idahoans and vital segments of Idaho’s economy.”
