  • Letter from State-Level Elected Leaders in All 50 States Supporting Betsy Devos for Secretary of Education
    LETTER FROM STATE-LEVEL ELECTED LEADERS IN ALL 50 STATES SUPPORTING BETSY DEVOS FOR SECRETARY OF EDUCATION January 17, 2017 The Honorable Lamar Alexander Chairman U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions 428 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Chairman Alexander, As one of the most critical issues impacting the future of our nation, we must have a Secretary of Education committed to the needs of all of our nation’s children. Betsy DeVos has made it her life’s mission to find, support and push for education solutions in her home state of Michigan and across the country. She is an advocate and ally for all children, and we write to you today to express our support for her nomination to this important position as her confirmation hearing approaches. We represent elected state offices from all 50 states, and as such, we each know the impact of an overgrown federal government reaching into the states to push a one-size-fits all approach to education. No two states, localities or school districts are the same, nor are the needs of the children who reside there. Betsy DeVos understands this distinction and for years has embraced a variety of education solutions to meet this need. Her support for an all-of-the-above approach to K-12 education – from charter schools, to public, private and online education – defines the school choice movement that has helped countless children across many of our states. By advancing these innovative solutions from the Department of Education, Betsy DeVos will put children first and empower not only states to lead the way in making critical education decisions, but also empower parents to choose what type of education is best for their children.

  • Brooke Stroyke, Office of the Governor Governor Gianforte Signs Liability
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 10, 2021 Contact: Brooke Stroyke, Office of the Governor Governor Gianforte Signs Liability Protections Bill Into Law HELENA, Mont. – Governor Greg Gianforte today signed Senate Bill No. 65 into law. The new law shields businesses, health care providers, nonprofit organizations, and places of worship from coronavirus-related lawsuits, provided they take measures to protect individuals from COVID-19 and follow public health guidelines. “On January 5th, I addressed how critical it is to protect businesses, nonprofit organizations, places of worship, and health care providers from lawsuits if they make a good faith effort to protect individuals from the spread of the coronavirus and follow clear public health guidelines,” Governor Gianforte said. “And the legislature delivered.” Governor Gianforte continued, “On January 5th, Senator Fitzpatrick introduced SB 65, and within a month, it cleared the Legislature with bipartisan support. I want to thank every legislator – Republican and Democrat – who recognized the importance of protecting businesses, nonprofits, and others that protect their workers, their customers, and their clients.” Senator Fitzpatrick, the bill’s primary sponsor, joined Governor Gianforte with Senate President Mark Blasdel, Speaker of the House Wylie Galt, and Rep. Mark Noland in celebrating the bill’s signing. “As an attorney, I know how important it is for folks to be protected from frivolous lawsuits. If you’re taking reasonable and responsible precautions to protect your employees, your members, your customers from COVID-19, you shouldn’t have to worry about unnecessary litigation. At the same time, this bill doesn’t give anyone a free pass and it makes clear that Montanans are protected from bad actors.

Your willingness to work together on budgetary priorities during these challenging economic times will provide support to JFAC, and hopefully together Diane Bilyeu we will provide the best possible educational opportunities for all of Idaho’s Nicole LeFavour schoolchildren. Although the Governor’s initial General Fund recommendation for Public Schools did HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS not include additional cuts – it was too optimistic considering the recent news that we …………………….. have received about revenues. We are sure you understand that once the Legislature Maxine Bell takes into consideration the reduction of projected General Fund revenues due to federal Chairman tax conformity, unanticipated sales tax credits for alternative energy, and the erosion of Darrell Bolz last year’s surplus; it is necessary to ask our germane committees to consider policy and Vice Chairman programmatic changes that support a lower spending level for FY 2012. George Eskridge The Co-Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen of JFAC have identified a range of between $50 Fred Wood million to $81 million below what the Governor recommended at $1,235,893,600 for Jim Patrick Public Schools in FY 2012.

  • Week 10 Idaho Legislative Update for March 15-19, 2021
    Week 10 Idaho Legislative Update for March 15-19, 2021 The tenth week of the First Regular Session of the Sixty-Sixth Idaho Legislature was fueled by a fervent push to move toward "Sine Die" but ended abruptly Friday as word of several House Members contracting COVID 19 spread. This resulted in the House and Senate pausing for 18 days. The Idaho Legislature is now in recess until April 6, 2021. Prior to recessing this week, both chambers were meeting on the floor morning and afternoon with committee hearings interspersed. Debates were lengthy. The Senate Calendar has 78 items remaining, with more to be added. The House Calendars have 68 items to be dealt with in addition to those bills still moving through committees. With over 150 bills still working through the process on the floor and in committee, the session seems far from over. This week we saw the introduction of another new transportation idea and a tax relief bill fast-tracked through the House, which was later found to have a significant drafting error that will likely mean amendments are necessary in the Senate. The big battles of the session were certainly ramping up before the abrupt stop. Thursday, Idaho Governor Brad Little held a Press Conference where he outlined the state's allocation of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) federal funding. How the state will spend billions of dollars, which, based on current U.S. Treasury guidance, cannot be used for tax relief, the top priority for the Governor and Idaho Legislature. The Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee (JFAC) spent the week concluding its budget settings.
