Don Hudson Ends Campaign for Representative

Press Release Don Hudson of Lincoln County announced this week that he will be stepping down from the race for the Idaho House of Representatives Seat 26B, and endorsed Alex Sutter to succeed him in seeking to represent District 26.

Service to God, Country and family has been Don Hudson’s guiding focus for all of his adult life. From Don Hudson serving as a Boy Scout Leader, for 50 + years, or serving as a founder and President for the Volunteer Fire Department, or serving as Commander for the Search and Rescue unit, or saving a County’s deteriorating historical records, or working for years to learn the Constitution and workings of State Government, or to prepare and run for a seat in the legislature.

Whatever the community has asked of him, he has done it with a cheerful heart, dedication and commitment to the very best of his ability.

Open House - Fairfield Ranger District

The Fairfield Ranger District of the Sawtooth National Forest is proposing to implement a variety of vegetation modifications and prescribed burning treatments over a ten year period in the Salt Creek/ Bowns Creek and Fleck Summit area.

The goals of the Salt Bowns Vegetation Management Project are: 1) maintain and restore the health of forested stands in response to current insect and disease levels; 2) maintain and restore the declining

whitebark pine communities; 3) enhance and restore habitat for wildlife species of concern in old Douglasfir forest; and 4) reduce the amount of vegetative fuel loading to lower the fire regime condition class.

The Open House will be in Fairfield at the Camas County Senior Center from 5 to 7 p.m. on February 4, 2016. The Senior Center is located at 129 Willow Ave West, Fairfield, Idaho. Representatives from the Fairfield Ranger District will be in attendance to talk to the

public about the project’s objectives.

“We’re very excited about this project. The open house is a great opportunity for the public to learn more about what we’re proposing,” according to Mike Dettori, Fairfield District Ranger.

“We’re encouraging folks to come to the open house to discuss the project with Specialists and to give their feedback.”

If you have any questions about the open house please contact Lyn Snoddy at 208-737-3246.

A lot of what Helping Hearts and Hands does reminds us of what this phrase “It Takes a Village” means. It is more than one person and the benefits go to dozens of people right here in Gooding County. This month we would like to thank the dozens of individuals and businesses that have helped HH&H complete a very successful year in feeding those food insecure right here in our own neighborhood.

Despair means “to be without hope” and we feel we help those in need with everyone’s input, no matter how big or small the donation of time or money. We can’t help our neighbors without YOUR help.

We do apply for some grant money but mostly it is donations from the community that helps the most. Whether it is food donations, money, coats for kids or any other donation, we appreciate everything that is given.

There are so many caring people in our community for those in need. So it takes more than a “village” to raise the hopes of people to a level of purpose. We feel blessed that you trust our efforts and we hope to continue that trust in 2016.

February 3, 2016 The Courier News ~ 888-934-1862 Legislative News - Steve Miller obit

Things are beginning to take off. It takes a while to get organized and get the flow started. The first business for committees is rules. In state and federal government, Agencies develop rules to define how legislation is implemented. Idaho is one of a few states where the rules are reviewed and accepted or rejected by the appropriate House and Senate committees. Both House and Senate committees have to reject a rule to nullify it. Unfortunately, this is not how the federal government operates. Federal Agencies write rules and impose their bureaucratic will on the people (that would be us) without control or oversight of the Congress that passed the laws. Many times the resulting rules are contrary to the intent of the original law. It is bureaucratic tyranny and the process needs to be changed.

The entire Legislature attended a workshop regarding civil discourse. Idaho is the first in the nation to have the entire legislature participate in the process. It was an interesting course and will benefit legislators.

The Legislative District 26 Legislators (Michelle, Donna, and I) will hold town hall meetings February 12 and 13 (Friday & Saturday). Here is the schedule currently set up:

Feb. 12 5:30 p.m. - Ketchum City Hall Feb. 13 8:00 a.m. - Bellevue General Store 10:30 a.m. - Shoshone Community Center 12:00 p.m. - Gooding, Zeppies Pizza 2:00 p.m. - Wendell City Hall 4:00 p.m. - Hagerman City Hall

State of the State

Governor Otter confirmed Education funding of the Career Ladder, college and career advising, profession development and discretionary funding to mention a few. A whopping 7.9% increase in funding for education and the continued commitment to implement the Task Force committee recommendations for Education. There were also commitments to wild fire preparedness, the Sage Grouse Initiative, aquifer recharge, public defense reform and state police funding.

Economic Outlook Committee

The purpose of the Economic Outlook Committee is to recommend a revenue number to JFAC (Joint Finance- Appropriations Committee) for the purpose of setting a budget. We heard 20 reports from economists, businessmen, and association representatives regarding their outlook for the current and next fiscal year. Committee members then submit their estimates which are compiled to a median. The final committee recommendation was the Governor’s forecast of 4.6% for FY 1016, 4.9% for FY 2017 and 5.3% for FY 2018. My own estimates were lower. I tend to be a little more conservative and would rather deal with excess revenues than be concerned about hold backs.

House Session & Votes

Thus far there are 2 bills before the House: HCR 27 - the State of the State; and H331 - Amends existing law to define

Chadwick James Rosen

Chadwick James “Chad” Rosen, 60, of Wendell, passed away Tuesday January 26, 2016, in Jerome.

He was born May 20, 1955, in Jerome, Idaho, the son of James Albert Rosen and Lila Rae Anderson Rosen.

Chad was raised in the Magic Valley and graduated from Shoshone High School. He raised one son, Cody. He spent several years working at Sun Valley ski resort, where he made snow.

Chad is survived by his son, Cody (Miriama) Rosen, of Twin Falls; his mother, Lila Rosen of Wendell; one granddaughter, Skyla; two brothers, Vincent and Roderick; and many extended family members and friends.

He is preceded in death by his father and brother, Mike Rosen.

Memorial services were conducted on Monday February 1, 2016, at the Wendell LDS 2nd Ward Chapel with Bishop Brad Nebeker officiating. Arrangements under the care of Farnsworth Mortuary of Jerome. “powdered alcohol,” to prohibit the possession, use and sale.

Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee (JFAC)

JFAC heard and accepted the Economic Outlook Committee recommendation of 4.9% or $3,340.4 billion for the budget setting process. The committee also heard the Governor’s budget presentation. It is “robust” as the saying goes.

Supplementals were processed Thursday and Friday. Supplemental budgets are requests that are made because of unexpected expenses or spending that has been previously authorized but not appropriated. It is money that is appropriated from the existing year so the budget must be re-opened for additional appropriation. Unlike the federal government, Idaho does not spend money it doesn’t have. These budgets all have existing balances that will cover the additional appropriation. A good example is pest control by the Dept of Ag. They are authorized to take action but do not know year to year what action must take place. This year Ag spent $324,000 on pest control which was primarily the Japanese Beetle, another invasive specie that does well here without any natural predators. The little bugger is about the size of a penny, cute as a bug’s ear (go figure) and likes it here in Boise.

Idaho Transportation Department requested and JFAC approved appropriating fuel tax and registration collected to date of $104,586,700 so they could begin letting contracts.

The Catastrophic Healthcare Program (CAT Fund) returned almost $17 million to the general fund. I’d like a few more of those!

I would like to thank all of you who made the effort to wish me a happy birthday last week. My cell phone decided, on my birthday, that it would lose a speaker - the transmitting one that enables a person to hear me. I had a lot of calls of people calling to wish me happy birthday, only for me not to be heard. Since no one heard me, they would hang up or try to wait for voice-mail which never activated because I was on the line. To me it was like having a big lottery ticket that you could not confirm because all the ticket scanner machines were broken. The phone needed immediate attention of repair or replacement.

The next day after my birthday I went to my phone service supply center. They didn’t have exactly what I wanted in a flipphone. They assured me that I needed to upgrade. I told them, for the activities I did the flip-phone worked best for me. Even if I was to settle for a flip-phone that I did not want, they said I would have to finance the phone. I told them, if I wanted the phone, I would pay for it and be out the door. At least part of it had to be financed was their reply.

I told them, “My initial contract, that bound me to you exclusively, ended eight years ago. I don’t know if I want to stay with you now or forever as far as that goes. If I totally own my phone and I feel like stomping it into the ground, I have that option. If I die tomorrow, my family would have my phone and the phone company would not own it. Basically, case closed.”

As you can guess, I did not sign up for two more years to “upgrade” my phone or be satisfied with one I did not want. I took my cell phone to a repair place. They told me they could have my phone fixed in twenty minutes or I could buy one from them. I chose to buy one.

Unlike my phone service provider, they were trying to fix me up the way I wanted. How hard is it to provide good ol’ service today? Are we all moving so fast whereas we have to be wasteful or in a throw away system?! (I’m talking from autos to cell phones, and everything in between.)

The average cell phone contract is TWO YEARS. The average phone replacement is 21.7 months, if the phone last that long. If you are like me, you’ll probably use 1 1/2 phones in your contract time (2 years). The first phone you may have purchased may have been upwards of $400 to $500. Your second phone may have been $200 to $300. Even now the phone you may chose will still be $200. Some replacements with “said” credits could be around the hundred and a half mark. In a ten year period your phone with replacement could cost you upwards of $1100 (that is not including service - only the phone purchase).

Back when there were not any phones, the phones were at home, stationary, and had a dial with finger slots that would spin in a circle. They cost approximately $80 which was paid in installments (some were only $59). The rotary phone would last 30 years. In fact, I still have one at home. Funny how any technology costs are always spread evenly among the working class. This is my “Cup of Tee” with can you hear me now??

Don Hudson & Alex Sutter cont.

Most recently, he was the Republican candidate for the House of Representatives seat in District 26B; which covers the Counties of Blaine, Camas, Gooding and Lincoln in central Idaho. Don’s commitment to conservative principals, traditional values and unbridled freedom for every American citizen won him great support. His background as a mechanical engineer and leading edge business manager with AT&T, along with his love for science, innovation and nature, qualified him well to help lead Idaho into our next pages of history.

Health concerns, however, have begun to interfere with a goal he feels is too great to risk failure at any level. For the last several weeks Don has been seeking for a person to replace him on the campaign trail, someone with the same courage, strength and vision that he has invested in this endeavor. He found a close family friend to accept the challenge.

Alex Sutter, a Lincoln County businessman and longtime Republican, has the qualifications to win the election and join the Idaho House of Representatives. It was decided that Alex would take over Don’s campaign effective immediately.

Therefore, Don Hudson announces an end to his campaign efforts for the Idaho House of Representatives and presents Alex Sutter as a worthy successor to his efforts.

Don asks that everyone in District 26, and surrounding Districts, support Mr. Sutter in every way possible in a united effort to win this critically important election.

Don also expresses his profound gratitude to everyone who has worked for and supported him during these past few years.
