Mike Simpson: “Our intent is to balance the risk and the rewards between the taxpayers and the contractors doing the work.”

This is something that’s needed, not just for agriculture but for the American people.

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.

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