    To read any of the 271 bill analyses IFF published this legislative session, or to research your lawmakers’ voting records, please visit: IDAHOFREEDOMINDEX.COM FROM THE PRESIDENT During an Idaho House floor debate earlier this year, state Rep. Fred Wood, R-Burley, said outside bill ratings aren’t welcome in lawmakers’ deliberations. Wood, who couldn’t summon the courage to utter our name, was speaking about the Idaho Freedom Index. Please know 2020 was a banner year for the Idaho Freedom Index, our flagship project. IFF launched the Index in 2012 to help you hold lawmakers accountable for their votes. This year, it earned unprecedented attention from legislators, lobbyists, and Idahoans. A select few highlights demonstrate the Index’s formidability. Web traffic to the Index and IFF analyses surged more than 40 percent above 2019 levels. This year, lawmakers talked about the Idaho Freedom Index in public meetings more than a dozen times. Finally, lobbyists, who once scoffed at the Index, beat a path to our office seeking assistance to improve their legislation. I want to recognize those who worked tirelessly to bring about this banner year. First, IFF donors deserve immense credit. Their support makes this service available in our state. Next, I bring to your attention IFF Policy Analyst Lindsay Atkinson, who coordinated the Index and evaluated countless bills. Finally, a heartfelt thank you goes to IFF Vice President Fred Birnbaum and Parrish Miller. Both worked long hours and dove deep into legislation to write analyses. I understand the Idaho Freedom Index makes some lawmakers uncomfortable. Accountability to voters causes discomfort for legislators who say one thing on the campaign trail but do another in the Statehouse.

Megan Blanksma (208) 590-0703 Republican Caucus Brings Town Hall Series to Northern Idaho BOISE, Idaho – House Republican Leadership and members of the House GOP Caucus from northern Idaho will hold two town halls on December 17.

These will be the last town halls before the 2020 Legislative session begins, and the sixth and seventh in a very successful series. “It is our privilege to serve the interest of Idahoans in the Statehouse, and these town halls allow us to connect one-on-one with people so we can meet that responsibility to its fullest,” said Speaker of the House Scott Bedke, who will be at both events. The Caucus will hold the first town hall from 1-3pm on Tuesday, December 17 at Moscow City Hall (206 E. 3rd Street).

  • Capitol Notes 03.1.21
    By Quinn Perry, Policy & Government Affairs Director March 1, 2021 Issue 7 "Out of the public school grows the greatness of a nation.” - Mark Twain ISBA’s 2021 Legislative Staff Public Schools Week: Why We Fight for Public Education As we head into March, it is good for me – and, hopefully for all of you – to remember why we fight so hard for public education and the students that we serve. Sometimes, it really does feel like a fight. Recently, someone criticized an email I sent urging a call to action on House Bill 215 – The Voucher Bill – and claimed that fighting for public schools was a ‘liberal’ view. Proponents of HB 215 take to social media and use the term “Fund Students, Not Systems” – and simultaneously criticize every move that school leaders make. Earlier this week, a prominent House Chairman looked me straight in the face and said that most of the legislature would prefer to “get rid of school boards entirely.” This is the narrative for many in the State House: The narrative that somehow, the Legislature knows best – more than all locally elected officials who govern our schools, our cities, and our counties. That our public schools are merely “a cog in the machine”, as if you were not providing more than just an education – but are providers of health care, medical referrals, food services and more to students. In addition, that defending our public school system, it is somehow divisive political rhetoric. Year after year, Education is a top-ranked priority for nearly every citizen on all parts of the political spectrum – both in Idaho and across the country.
