Governor Little's State of the State

Week 1 of the 2023 Legislative session is on the books! It’s exciting to be back in the Capitol with so many familiar - and new - faces. I’ve already been hard at work and I’m hopeful this session will be fruitful for the people of Idaho.

The session was kicked off with the Governor's State of the State address. I was glad to hear about a few of his proposals: investments in education including a $6,300 boost in teacher pay and an $8,500 college scholarship to Idaho students who choose to move on to Idaho universities; and $120 million in infrastructure investments which could result in property tax relief. The Legislature will now consider the Governor's plan and make appropriations.
