Fish & Game budget bill passes House on narrow, 36-34 vote

The budget bill for the Idaho Department of Fish & Game has passed the House on a narrow 36-34 vote, after Rep. Tom Loertscher, R-Iona, detailed his frustrations from a dispute he’s had with the department over a water issue in eastern Idaho. “I know this bill has to pass, but it won’t pass with my vote,” Loertscher declared. HB 641 now moves to the Senate.
