Reorganization May Hit Idaho General Fund By UPI
Idaho government reorganization could cost the general fund about 6.5 million dollars. House Transportation Committee Chairman John Sessions urged an attorney general’s opinion on funding for the Department of Law Enforcement now drawn from highway user funds. A bill to move law enforcement funding away from highway user revenues was introduced, aiming to ease the Transportation Department’s finances amid federal aid and tax proposals. The panel also backed measures for advance notice on archaeological site designations and a 90 day residency for driver licenses.

Andrus backs rail freight rate reduction in Idaho
Gov. Cecil D Andrus urged Union Pacific to grant a freight rate cut, saying it would remove economic barriers to grain production and save Idaho growers about 3.6 million dollars annually.
