Hay Proposal Would Cost Idaho Millions to Implement
Idaho Department of Administration Director Dr Skip Chilberg blasted the Hay study as costly and problematic. He warned it could raise total expenses by at least six million dollars and erode wage comparability without a sound classification and evaluation system. Senator Cy Chase cautioned against premature adoption citing potential chaos and unresolved issues. Chilberg argued pay for performance could become pay for personality without a reliable evaluation system.

The measure would merge Idaho's regular and presidential primaries, moving the August primary to May 25. Proponents say it could save about 150000 dollars, while critics argue the public has not yet had a chance to respond.
