Mike Simpson: “We are also concerned about the reduction of $12.4 million from the Alaska Conveyance Program.”

We put a bunch more money into tribal justice, and that’s hard in a year when we’re trying to reduce spending at the federal level.

I’m pleased to see these funds allocated to help Idaho schools, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure projects.

But I’ve said from the beginning: We’re not going to try to balance the budget on the back of the tribes.

Since the president has closed the border, I think we can get this done.
