Legislative Update from Representative Sally Toone
Week #8 The most pressing news comes from the Senate with the debate on a Constitutional Convention on Tuesday. Restricting the constitutional convention to a single issue would be unenforceable and preempted by The Constitution. A runaway convention in a politically polarized environment could tear apart the heart of our representational democracy. The concurrent resolution failed the Senate 11-24. We will be seeing a similar resolution on the House side eventually. I would encourage you to contact your representatives with your views. AGRICULTURE I have enjoyed the many presentations from so many Idaho industries though we have not seen a lot of legislation this year. Many say this sometimes happens. I learned today that Idaho is the #1 producer of Austrian dry peas producing 51% of the dry peas in the world. Our seed production is one of the best in the nation and includes radish, carrot, onion, alfalfa, peas, beans, and lettuce to mention a few. FLOOR VOTES H139 started the week in the business committee and ended on the floor. This was a passionate issue for many cosmetologists. We heard from both sides for 3 hours during the hearing in committee and the debate continued on the floor for another hour. We all care for issues near and dear to our heart. The floor voted yes and I feel this was an update needed and the next process--that of rule making (how the law is administered)-
-will bring everyone to the table to work it out for all the citizens of our district and state. The debate on selling heroin with a 2nd-degree murder charge if someone dies was very telling by both sides. We need to focus on the addiction while others feel a line needs to be drawn and responsibility for one’s actions. The bill failed with a 26-43 vote but has brought the addiction problem to the foreground. Representative Hy Kloc presented an important resolution highlighting the history and contributions of immigrants in the United States of America. Immigrants aren’t just essential to our history; they are essential to our growth within the current economy. We must recognize and be thankful for the tremendous value brought to our country and state by immigrants of all nations. H204 will allow the state to regulate the operation of PDDs (Personal Delivery Devices), granting local control over their implementation. This bipartisan bill allows communities to utilize this cutting edge technology that lessens traffic, promotes clean air, and creates jobs for the benefit of Idaho families and businesses. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. I enjoy hearing your thoughts and concerns. Please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns at stoone@house. idaho.gov, or 208-332-1032.

Levy Election for Gooding Schools
On March 14th the Gooding Joint School District #231 will be holding a Levy Election. Voting will take place at the Gooding County Extension Office (at the Gooding County Fairgrounds) and the War Memorial Hall (203 3rd Ave West). The polls will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The following information was provided by the Gooding Joint School District: ---- Many of you are aware that Gooding Jt. School District #231 will be running a supplemental levy on March 14, 2017. Funds from a supplemental levy are used to help pay for operating expenses incurred by a school district. Districts have greater flexibility in spending funds from supplemental levies than they do in spending funds designed for plant facilities or capital projects. Funds from this levy will be used
for general repairs and safety needs, student remediation, non-refundable transportation costs, extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, fixed costs such as power, gas, and utilities, and staffing needs. The district is asking for $650,000/year for two years, which is an increase over the current levy amount. To offset the increase in the supplemental levy, the Gooding Jt. School District Board of Trustees voted to use reserve bond funds to pay down the district’s bond. By doing this, the tax rate will remain at its current rate. The district has worked hard not to increase the tax rate. With increasing enrollments, the district qualified to run emergency levies each of the past two years, but the school superintendent recommended that the board not run those levies, which would have increased patrons’ taxes. Instead, reserve funds were used to balance the budget. Please know that the Gooding Jt. School District is trying to be prudent with funds. The district purposefully did not run emergency levies, even though the increases in enrollment qualified them to do so. Now the district is asking for your support to pass this supplemental levy.
