3 North Idaho legislators like Little's speech
The Press reached out to North Idaho legislators Monday for their reaction to Gov. Brad Little's State of the State address. Here are the statements of those who responded.
"I’m excited to hear the Governor emphasize fiscal responsibility, and one time and ongoing reductions in spending; I know there will be strong support in the legislature for this. However, he built a wall around education, which is about half of the state’s budget, and especially his ill-conceived Launch program. And there was no mention of Medicaid, another huge chunk of our spending. I don’t know how we can be fiscally responsible if 70% of the budget is sacrosanct. As always, the devil is in the details, and we have not as yet seen the Governor’s numbers."
