Other witnesses include Elizabeth Call and Myron B. Sorensen among farmers and businesspeople. Also covered is Mayor Ferris Chambers and his wife attending a monthly dinner for mayors at Bluebird and Gauser's Restaurant.

Political Echoes On Idaho Spending And Special Funds

The piece argues that Idaho’s $173 million in special funds largely comes from state revenue, yet lobbyists focus on the general fund. It notes the legislature exerts real control on about 30 percent of spending, with strong agencies backed by earmarks, while general fund agencies cry poverty. It warns against assuming the general fund determines the state’s wealth.
