Barbieri's Secret Email Bill Deserves Delete Button This Editorial Was Published by the Idaho Press-Tribune of Nampa Barbieri's secret email bill deserves delete button This editorial was published by the Idaho Press-Tribune of Nampa. We've been saying that it's time for this bland legislative session to end. Further evidence is provided by northern Idaho Republican Vito Barbieri, who is proposing legislation (House Bill 233) that would exempt communication among legislators from Idaho public record laws. It's a scary proposition, for certain, but no more frightening than the makeup of the House State Affairs Committee, which may give Barbieri enough votes to pass this goofy bill. The committee includes Rep. Heather Scott of Blanchard, whose only claim to fame this year was speculating about how female lawmakers gained committee chairs. The committee also includes our own Rep. Brent Crane of Nampa, the House assistant majority leader who has been building good working relationships with the Capitol correspondents and has appeared to be friendly toward openness and transparency in government. Hopefully, he can be a voice of reason on this issue. Another "hope" is for the committee chairman, Rep. Tom Loertscher of Iona, to slide this disaster into his desk drawer and forget about it. This bill should not see the light of day. If the bill happens to pass the House, the Senate should send it to the shredder. Barbieri's proposed exemption, in addition to applying to emails among legislators, also would hide research requests made by lawmakers and all personal identifiable information of private citizens contacting legislators. Barbieri argues that secrecy among legislators is essential to the legislative process. Last week, he received a nod of approval from House Speaker Scott Bedke, who told journalists, "There are a lot of ideas not ready for prime time." We say, baloney. The vast majority of email discussions among legislators will remain private. No news organization, or private citizen, has the time or inclination to sift through all the email exchanges of 105 legislators. But they are, and should be, available to the public upon demand if there are issues of concern. And it's not "fake news" that people are digging for. "We are a group of working journalists," said Betsy Russell, president of the Idaho Press Association. "We rely on openness in government and public records to do our job of keeping people informed about their government, a fundamental mission of our free press. The making of laws to govern Idaho is the public's business, and we believe it should remain so." This isn't just an Idaho Press Club issue. Taking away a tool for reporters to gather information is an infringement on the public's right to know. And any citizen should be able to see communications from their legislators. The Idaho Legislature is not a private club. The state provides legislators with computers and an email system, and we all pay for it. While there will be no rush to obtain, let alone read through, the many thousands of emails that are sent by our legislators, it's good that they keep in mind that correspondence is subject to public scrutiny. The public has the right to expect their senators and representatives to exercise high professional standards in the process. Idaho's public records law contains several exemptions for the content of records. If the content of an email is exempt from disclosure, then a legislator can redact that content. However, a blanket exemption for the mode of delivery of that content is a far overreach and abuse of secrecy in government. The Idaho Legislature generally gets high marks for openness, but not with this bill. Transparency in state government would take a huge hit if this measure gets beyond the Legislature's "trash" file. .

    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.

    American Planning Association February 12, 2021 Idaho Chapter The Honorable Ron Mendive, Chair House Local Government Committee Idaho State House of Representatives P.O. Box 83720 Boise, ID 83720-0054 RE: H0124, amending Section 67-8205, Relating to Impact Fee Advisory Committees Dear Chairman Mendive, On behalf of the Idaho Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA Idaho), I am writing to register my organization's support regarding House Bill 124, the amendment to Section 67-8205 regarding Impact Fee Advisory Committee members. Our organization represents more than 250 local planning officials, private-sector planners, and planning commission members statewide. We are the technicians, professionals, policy and decision makers who represent the public interest in carrying out the authorities vested with local government under Idaho’s Local Land Use Planning Act, Title 67, Chapter 65 of the Idaho Statutes and regularly use the Impact Fee provisions found in Idaho Code Title 67, Chapter 82. APA Idaho strongly supports the utilization of a Development Impact Fee Advisory Committee to assist in the creation and execution of Development Impact Fee programs. Local citizen and subject matter expert involvement in impact fee programs are vital to their success. Specifically, in this Bill we support- 1) The requirement of communities to appoint at least two (2) citizens that may have a different perspective of impact fees from what those “active in the business of development, building, or real estate” may have. 2) The requirement for local citizens to be involved in the process, as opposed to those that may not have an interest in the impact fee program.
