Governor Little's Keeping Promises Plan
On Monday, Governor Brad Little delivered his seventh State of the State and Budget Adress in the Idaho Statehouse, outlining his key priorities for the 2025 legislative session in his KEEPING PROMISES plan.
"The historic presidential election two months ago affirmed one thing – Americans want for our country what Idaho has – safe communities, bustling economic activity, increasing incomes, tax relief, fewer regulations, fiscal responsibility, and common sense values. With President Trump’s return to the White House, we have a renewed opportunity to help him deliver results and show the rest of the country how to do things right. That starts with KEEPING PROMISES,” Governor Little said.
Among many highlights, Governor Little’s KEEPING PROMISES plan proposes:
CONTINUED INVESTMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS : State support for education has increased 80 percent since Governor Little took office. His KEEPING PROMISES plan proposes over $150 million in new public school funding. The budget recommendation focuses investments on known gaps including rural school facilities, mental health services and school safety, literacy, and accountability initiatives that guarantee the best outcomes for our public school students.
EDUCATION FREEDOM : Idaho already leads in education freedom, and Governor Little proposes $50 million for the Legislature to expand school choice. Just as we expect our public schools to be fair, responsible, transparent and accountable, Governor Little will only consider a school choice proposal that meets these same standards while prioritizing the families that need it most.
TAX RELIEF : Idaho has already delivered $4.6 BILLION in tax cuts to Idahoans in the past six years. His KEEPING PROMISES plan puts another $100 million back in Idahoan’s wallets.
SUPPORT FOR THE AMERICAN WORKER : Elsewhere in the country, fewer and fewer students are moving on to some form of education or training after high school, but not Idaho! Idaho is bucking the trend. We had the largest cohort EVER of students enrolled in a program after high school thanks to Idaho LAUNCH. The Governor’s plan adds $25 million to increase capacity at community and technical colleges to get more working class Idahoans on the fast track to a career.
GREATER GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCIES : President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency is already looking to the least regulated state for the blueprint on how to cut red tape, stimulate economic activity, and streamline government. Governor Little’s KEEPING PROMISES plan puts more structure around our permitting reform efforts for largescale mining and energy projects.
SAFE COMMUNITIES : Crime in Idaho is down 17 percent since Governor Little took office despite record population growth, and violent crime...
Dear Idaho Business Owners
From Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane
We are writing again with another significant development regarding the new federal reporting requirements. On December 23rd, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the reporting requirements by lifting the order halting the Department of Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) requirement to collect Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI). However, on December 26th, the same court reversed this decision, effectively pausing the requirement again.
While we appreciate the courts' recognition that a pause is needed, this back-and-forth has created confusion and frustration, both for our office and for business owners like you. We recognize how difficult it is to navigate these changing requirements.
As of now, businesses are not required to report BOI information. However, we urge you to stay informed as legal proceedings may continue to affect the implementation of these requirements. For any questions or concerns, we encourage you to contact FinCEN directly at:
Website: https://fincen.gov/boi
Email: FRC@fincen.gov
Phone number: 1-800-767-2825
Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane shares your frustration. "Just in the past week, our office has heard from hundreds of frustrated business owners. This has been a headache for small business owners to navigate. I'm grateful the courts recognized that the best course of action is to pause the reporting while the long-term legal questions are resolved."
Our office remains committed to advocating for Idaho's small business community. We are working with the Idaho Attorney General, Senator Jim Risch, and Representative Russ Fulcher to pursue long-term solutions that make sense for Idaho businesses.
We will provide updates as new information becomes available.
Thank you for your patience as this situation evolves.

USDA - Build & Improve Rural Water Infrastructure
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development Idaho State Director Richard Rush has announced the availability of grants through the Rural Decentralized Water Systems Grant Program for nonprofit organizations and nonprofit Tribal lending institutions. Organizations may relend funding or provide sub-grants to rural homeowners seeking to build, refurbish and service water wells and septic systems. Organizations may provide up to $15,000 per household. Projects should consider energy efficiency, resiliency and water reuse technologies. USDA is particularly interested in applications that will advance:
● Reduce climate pollution and increase resilience to the impacts of climate change through economic support to rural communities.
● Ensure all rural residents have equitable access to Rural Development (RD) programs and benefits from RD-funded projects.
● Help rural communities recover economically through more and better market opportunities and improved infrastructure.
Electronic applications must be submitted through Grants.gov by March 3, 2025.
...Keeping Promises continued
...is at a five-year low. Still, there is more we can do to keep Idahoans safe. Governor Little’s KEEPING PROMISES plan adds a new prosecutor in North Idaho focused solely on putting away drug traffickers. He also proposes cybersecurity investments to beat back bad actors in China and Russia who seek to inflict harm on our people.
INFRASTRUCTURE TO KEEP UP WITH RAPID GROWTH : Idaho has championed record investments in roads, bridges, water, broadband, outdoor recreation and other infrastructure – without raising taxes or fees. Governor Little’s KEEPING PROMISES plan keeps our foot on the gas with needed transportation projects to keep up with record population growth.
WATER AND FIRE : Governor Little’s KEEPING PROMISES plan commits $ 30 million to water infrastructure projects that are proven to increase water levels in the aquifer and protect Idaho agriculture. To keep up our state’s defenses against wildfires that threaten our communities and natural resources, Governor Little also proposes over $100 million for fire, including bonuses to retain firefighters as well as proactively and responsibly funding the state’s fire suppression account so our firefighters know we’ve got their back.
PROTECTING VULNERABLE CHILDREN: Idaho is tackling needed reforms in child welfare. Governor Little’s KEEPING PROMISES plan commits $9.6 million to support prevention and transformation efforts in Idaho’s foster care system.
HELPING IDAHO FAMILIES ACHIEVE THE AMERICAN DREAM : In 2022, the Legislature put record amounts to workforce housing, creating thousands of new homes for working class families. Governor Little’s KEEPING PROMISES plan adds another $15 million to address housing supply so more Idahoans can achieve the American Dream of owning their own home.

Applications Open for Select Health Support Healthier Idaho Communities
Select Health today announced it has officially opened applications for the 2025 Select Health Awards, a program recognizing organizations striving to improve health and well-being in their communities. Organizations with initiatives focused on critical needs—such as healthcare access, food security, housing stability, and mental and physical wellness—are encouraged to apply.
As a nonprofit health plan, Select Health created this program to support organizations by providing financial resources to expand their influence, efforts and activities to build healthier, stronger communities. This year, Select Health will award $5,000 to ten organizations in three of Select Health's service areas: Utah, Idaho, and Clark County, Nevada.
"These organizations are on the front lines, addressing critical community needs," said Emily Allen, Community Relations Coordinator at Select Health. "Our goal is to support their efforts and help ensure healthier, stronger communities."
The awards program has contributed more than $1 million to organizations across the Mountain West since its launch in 2008. The program has helped hundreds of organizations make measurable strides in advancing public health and addressing systemic challenges in their communities.
"In past years, organizations like a local food bank have used these funds to provide over 1,000 additional meals to those in need," Allen said. "This kind of impact is exactly what the Select Health Awards are designed to achieve."
Select Health's mission to help people live the healthiest lives possible drives the awards program, which recognizes and supports the exceptional work of community organizations making a difference in their communities.
Applications are open from Jan. 1 through Feb. 28, 2025, or until 200 submissions are received for each state. Eligible organizations can apply online at selecthealthawards.org
obituary
Ruth Louise Harrison
Ruthie said she didn't want a funeral and she didn't want an obituary. She was 100 and a half when she died on Saturday December 28th, just before noon at Oakmont Village in Davie Florida. You'd think someone who lived to 100 and a half would get what she wanted. Well, not exactly.
She was too fun to just let her fade into the past. We won't let her. Her life on Camas Prairie Idaho was a combination of Little Women and Annie Oakley. There wasn't anything she couldn't do, from sewing a cheerleading outfit for her daughter Peggy, to sewing up a baby chicken's rear end (she had pulled too hard on a stubborn dingleberry). She not only whipped up great meals for annual hay crews, or her endless procession of nephews and nieces on the ranch at Hill City (which was the place for the most fun), but she knew how to change a flat tire in a fancy formal on her way to a Rebekah soiree - she just took off her dress and changed the tire in her undies. She could bring home the bacon, or kill any critter suitable for lunch or just in her way. She and the Harrison boys ran gazillion cows on a gazillion acres of land out by Hill City. She wasn't a cowgirl, she was a cowboy who could stretch up a fence or doctor one of the men who were always getting hurt. Her upbringing in the Little Women style Sanford family in Fairfield had prepared her to cook clean sew, host pinochle parties and sing, sing, sing. She sang at weddings, funerals and and once after a couple of stanzas of Pine Trees in Heaven accompanied by her autoharp, a fella told her she sounded just like a meadowlark. She and Zane bought a new car and the vanity plates read ZRNuCar, but only kept it a short time because they thought it sounded like they were bragging. Once she and hubby good Ol Zane retired from ranching to their winter home on River Road near Hagerman she became a sweet little old lady. Ha, not quite. When her neighbors saw her gun barrel sticking out the kitchen window, they knew a rock chuck was about to lose its life, quite a few of them had actually done that. She had a dead eye and a steady hand and didn't know the meaning of squeamish.
After more than ninety years in this area of southern Idaho, Ruth had touched quite a few lives, and stories about her abound, most of them hilarious. She never met a stranger, she didn't have a mean bone in her body and a man standing by me as we watched Ruthie holding my little daughter teaching her how to give Rocky a carrot with a flat palm said "She's always happy." I have to agree, she had the enormous capacity for endless optimism. Always happy. This is not an obituary. And there won't be a funeral....well, not exactly anyway. All those obnoxious cousins and jokers might want to have the last say after all.
