Idaho’s Senator Risch Joins Lincoln Days Tour Annual Fun Run ~ January 19th

U.S. Senator Jim Risch joined our State Elected officers on their annual tour of Idaho to meet with the voters of our area. With unemployment at its lowest since the 1960s (just under 4% nation wide and under 3% in Idaho), Senator Risch said this is a great time for America. The Senator gave the credit for the growing economy and the related increase in jobs to two things: first, the tax reform bill passed just over a year ago (HR 1—the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act); and the repealing of massive amounts of government regulations that have been stifling business growth over the last ten years. Regarding the government shutdown, he said it is a fight between the President and the House Democrats. The Democrats are in the weaker position because nearly all of their leaders have voted or made statements in favor of building a barrier (the wall) within the last decade. Their opposition to a Mexico/U.S. border fence is clearly hypocritical. For most people, the main concerns during the shutdown are tax returns and food stamps. The IRS has stated that they will start this year’s tax filing season on time - January 28th. The only problem might be with complex filings that take extra time, even without the shutdown. The food stamp program was already approved in December when congress passed the Farm Bill. However, the appropriations bill (over which the shutdown is taking place) provides the funds for SNAP benefits (food stamps). To address this problem, the President has ordered the USDA to distribute February benefits by January 20th - about two weeks early. This will help low income families through the next month, but March could be a problem if the shutdown continues. The only hiccup with this plan might be Democrats who are claiming that the President can’t do this, even though it is a mandatory entitlement. Senator Risch said he would have liked to have seen this situation handled differently, but the President has no real reason to back down on this issue.

Legislative Update from Senator Michelle Stennett

January 11, 2019 Greetings from the first week of the 2019 Legislative Session! This week Governor Little gave his inaugural State of the State address which talked about important issues such as the economy, education, Medicaid Expansion, and corrections. These priorities are either constitutionally or statutorily obligated to budget. Governor Little’s proposed policy agenda has been our priority for some time, and we look forward to collaborating to create positive changes for Idahoans. Economy In 2018, the Legislature conformed to the new Federal Tax Code and then passed a tax cut that would change how Idahoans claim deductions. On April 15th you may possibly have a tax bill rather than a refund. The Idaho State Tax Commission failed to effectively notify Idahoans to update their W-4s which tells employers how much... continued on page 2...

to withhold from an employee’s paycheck. The Tax Commission estimates that 75 percent of taxpayers have not adjusted their withholdings for the new tax laws. As an example, a married couple who are both working and filing jointly, could have a $700 tax bill. Less deductions and the elimination of certain exemptions, such as dependents, could result in an even larger tax bill. Education In his State of the State address, Governor Little asserted his number one priority is education and I agree. A strong education system promotes lifelong learning that helps ensure our workforce is the best and brightest Idaho has to offer. Governor Little mentioned budget increases for schools, teacher salaries, full-day kindergarten, and starting a Children’s Cabinet - focused on a variety of environmental conditions that may hinder student learning. Investing in full-day kindergarten is a big step for Idaho in terms of setting our children up for success, but early childhood education (pre-K) is also important. Studies show that kids who go through pre-K earn more money than those who don’t, are more likely to go to college, and less likely to wind up in jail. The governor wants to point Idaho in the right direction on this issue and I am eager to work with him and the rest of the Legislature this session to improve the future of our children and our workforce. Medicaid Expansion The most important priority this legislative session is to implement and fully fund Medicaid Expansion, as Idahoans overwhelmingly voted for it this past November. The Legislature should honor the will of the people and the people want a clear, clean Expansion. The Governor’s office has found the money to fully fund Medicaid for the first year and after that, the savings from expanding Medicaid will pay for it. However, the funding in the Governor’s budget does not account for any additional expensive and bureaucratic conditions such as work requirements. Not only does Medicaid Expansion cover the uninsured with health care, but it will bring back 400 million in tax dollars which can be put back into our local and county governments as well as our hospitals, doctors, and other medical staff. I am hopeful the Legislature will work to implement, and fund Medicaid, as is, in 2019. Corrections The Governor’s budget recommendation takes on the challenge of increasing prison capacity and the resources needed to reduce the flow of inmates into our prisons. Idaho has the largest percentage of nonviolent offenders in our prisons resulting in our state having transferred 1,000 inmates to Texas because of overcrowding. There is an urgency to change how we deal with at- risk populations, review mandatory minimums, and better treatments for drug addiction and mental health problems. Current practices are expensive, unsustainable, and often too late. Also, we are constitutionally required to improve our public defender system.

Respectfully, Senator Michelle Stennett
