Mike Simpson: “I thank Chairwoman Kaptur for calling this hearing.”

I regularly hear from farmers, ranchers, and producers in Idaho, and their main concern over the years has been when Congress will reauthorize the Farm Bill.

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

Tribal police officers go through the same training as our county police officers do, our state police officers do.

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.
