Welcome to the 2018 Idaho Association of Counties Mid- winter Legislative Conference. We have a great opportunity to meet as a group and present to our State Legislature those items which we, as County Elected Officials, consider to be most important to us and to do so in a unified format. Many of our members have worked hard over the past few months to present, debate, and approve our message for this year. I hope that you enjoy your time in Boise and take advantage of this time to promote those items which you feel are important. Thank you for taking the time to be here this week!
