Former longtime Bonners Ferry mayor and city councilman Darrel Kerby is substituting for Sen. Shawn Keough, R-Sandpoint, today, as Keough is with her husband Mike, who is hospitalized at Kootenai Medical Center and facing major open-heart surgery on Monday. "Sen. Keough is with her husband, and we're going to keep her in our prayers," JFAC Co-Chair Maxine Bell, R-Jerome, told the committee. Kerby said Keough told him he'd likely be subbing for her for the rest of the month.

JFAC has lots on its plate today: Setting budgets for the state Department of Corrections, Idaho Transportation Department and Department of Commerce.
