More from Mike Simpson
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 want to thank the honorable Mike Simpson, who is our representative, for his continued efforts on behalf of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes and of Indian Country to uphold the treaty and trust responsibility.
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.
