  • 2013 Freedom Index Report
    2013 Freedom Index Report Dear Friend of Freedom, On behalf of the board of directors of Idaho Freedom Foundation and our dedicated team of policy analysts and reporters, it is my honor to present you with our 2013 Idaho Freedom Index® Report. The Idaho Freedom Index examines legislation for free market principles, constitutionality, regulatory growth and other defined metrics. The examination then results in a numeric value being assigned to each bill having an impact on economic freedom and growth of government. We then take those numeric values and tally each legislator’s House or Senate floor votes to see whether that legislator, in total, supported or opposed economic freedom. Before the Idaho Freedom Index came along, it was nearly impossible to speak knowledgeably about a legislator’s commitment or opposition to free market ideals. We basically had to take politicians at their word regarding their cumulative voting performance. Today, voters, taxpayers and other interested observers can use our data to see whether lawmakers vote in support of bigger or smaller government, economic liberty or statism. Legislators routinely check our Freedom Index analyses before they cast their votes, and members of the public also check the Index to see how their legislators are performing. Our policy analysts worked tirelessly throughout the session to make sure lawmakers and the public had timely, accurate and substantive information during the 88-day legislative session. None of this work would be possible without the generous support of freedom-loving Idahoans, who continue to make a financial investment in the Idaho Freedom Foundation. If you are one of our dedicated donors, I offer you my humble and heartfelt gratitude.

  • Legislative Branch
    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.
