Mike Simpson: “Having the workforce in the future is going to be a big issue.”

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.

Rural counties across Idaho depend on the Secure Rural Schools program.

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.
