    LEGISLATIVE BRANCH Bruneau Dunes Photo Courtesy: Mary Davis 138 IDAHO BLUE BOOK Legislative Branch The Idaho Legislature is responsible for translating the public will into public policy for the state, levying taxes, appropriating public funds, and overseeing the administration of state agencies. These responsibilities are carried out through the legislative process -- laws passed by elected representatives of the people, legislators. Since statehood in 1890, Idaho's legislators have enjoyed a rich and successful history of charting the state's growth. Much of that success can be attributed to the fact that Idaho's legislators are "citizen" legislators, not career politicians. They are farmers and ranchers, business men and women, lawyers, doctors, sales people, loggers, teachers. Elected for two-year terms and in session at the Capitol just three months each year, Idaho's citizen legislators are able to maintain close ties to their communities and a keen interest in the concerns of the electorate. The Legislature's Mission The Idaho Legislature is committed to carrying out its mission in a manner that inspires public trust and confi dence in elected government and the rule of law. The mission of the Legislature is to: • Preserve the checks and balances of state government by the independent exercise of legislative powers; • Adopt a system of laws that promote the health, education and well-being of Idaho's citizens; • Preserve the state's environment and ensure wise, productive use of the state's natural resources; • Carry out oversight responsibilities to enhance government accountability; and • Raise revenues and appropriate monies that support necessary government services.

  • One Idaho Road-Funding Bill Down, Four to Go the Defeat of the Fuel Tax Hike Leaves Otter's Plan for Highways in Tatters
    One Idaho road-funding bill down, four to go The defeat of the fuel tax hike leaves Otter's plan for highways in tatters. Idaho Statesman, March 20, 2009 BY: CYNTHIA SEWELL Two Republican powerhouses who often have their fingers on the pulse of the House had vastly different reactions to Thursday's vote on Gov. Butch Otter's proposed 7-cent fuel tax hike. Immediately after the 43-27 defeat, Assistant Majority Leader Scott Bedke, R-Oakley, who carried Otter's bill on the floor, was red-faced and shocked. "I'm disappointed. I didn't take on the responsibility of carrying this bill lightly," he said. "I don't understand some of the votes." Meanwhile, House Transportation Committee Chairwoman JoAn Wood, R-Rigby, was calm and collected. Katherine Jones/Idaho Statesman Assistant Majority Leader Rep. Scott Bedke, R-Oakley, who had presented Gov. Butch Otter's bill to raise the fuel tax, was disappointed when it failed. "We have work to do," he said later in his office. "The problem of roads is not going away." "I tried to tell the governor this would happen," she said. These expectations are indicative of a deeply divided House. The governor and lobbyists pushed the bill hard, and all of GOP leadership voted for it, yet more than half of House Republicans voted against the bill. "It shows the different factions, that a consensus has not been reached," said House Majority Leader Mike Moyle, R-Star. OTTER FORGES AHEAD "I'm disappointed by today's outcome, but I appreciate the constructive debate, and I am not giving up," the governor said in a statement.
