Idaho Legislature Comments by Ralph Harrison
Idaho lawmaker Ralph Harrison notes the house and senate organize quickly this session. He mentions two tax bills withdrawn for correction, possible wage raises for legislators, and a constitutional amendment. A trip to dedication of the Homedale Armory is described as a model for cooperative projects. The governor’s message is seen as optimistic but lacking solutions. Budget outlook appears lower than expected with no sales tax likely this session.
