Well, it is interesting to note that when sequestration was the law of the land and we were trying to write budgets to sequestration numbers before the Murray-Ryan budget deal, one of the things you all touted that would be impacted would be Impact Aid, and, boy, we can't do that. So now that when we are proposing a $3.6 billion increase, Impact Aid is just kind of left on the table as it is.

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.
I have learned not to make promises I can't keep because you are dealing with hundreds of years of broken promises.
We have got to get the high walls down, and I don't know if I will be around when it finishes, but I am going to be around while it starts because we are going to get that done.
