Mike Simpson: “Frankly, I don't want to see defense nuclear waste be an orphan left at places that it currently is.”

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

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

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.

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.
