Economic Outlook meeting delayed to Jan. 24

The Legislature's joint Economic Outlook & Revenue Assessment Committee has put off its scheduled Thursday meeting, resetting it instead for Jan. 24. "The chairmen asked that we reschedule," said legislative staffer Keith Bybee. Sen. John Goedde, R-Coeur d'Alene, co-chairman of the panel, said, "We decided we'd give everybody a chance to think about it." He noted that the panel did the same thing last year. The meeting is the one at which the lawmakers will decide on a figure for forecast tax revenue for the coming year, on which to peg the state budget.
