Eye On Boise

School budget WON’T be set today

Members of the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee gather for a 7 a.m. workshop meeting on Monday; they had been scheduled to set the public schools budget on Monday morning, but that was put off to Wednesday after House leadership asked for more time. So JFAC was left with the rest of its Monday agenda, smaller agencies including the Commission on Aging and the State Independent Living Council. (Betsy Russell)

JFAC has delayed the setting of the public school budget - which had been scheduled for this morning - likely to Wednesday. "House leadership asked for some additional time to review the language, so we'll do it on Wednesday," said Senate Finance Chairman Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, referring to the "intent language and statutory changes, etc." He said, "It's probably wise, because we have a few items that we need to clear up."
