Thank you for your stand on this issue. Our budget has blown up under current leadership which has been very concerning and government growth is frankly immoral and unsustainable.(as DOGE has proved over the past 3 weeks) If there was zero waste, abuse, and fraud the very modest number you propose would still be questionable, if Idaho was maintaining its size. Unfortunately, the secret is out and we are growing significantly which brings in tremendous amounts of money to the state, which never seems to get mentioned. So why does the state have to increase the budget at all when there’s such an influx of money and people? Isn’t that growth in revenue sufficient? Just asking?
By the way the biggest waste of money in this state is Education every one bows at this alter because you can’t possibly go against it for fear of being ridiculed for going against the children! What is the actual return on this investment? I taught school for 10 years and I loved teaching and coaching but education needs a huge overhaul and until that happens we will stay on the wheel of insanity doing the same old stuff expecting different results. Think out of the box -open entry open exit, curriculums that are applicable -let kids excel and reward them for doing so. Why do we insist on age being the main factor where kids go and keeping them in a nice little herd all day long? What percentage of kids actually thrive in the current system ? If you’re honest I think that number is extremely low. There are better ways and the results could be improved astronomically. The thing is, it would be a lot of work and change and thats what no one wants to do. The results of this endeavor would then be the really great teachers would be allowed to excel, the lazy ones would quit and the money currently spent would be our best money spent not the worst. Right now we pay for glorified day care.
Love it! Exactly why we hired you wonderful ladies and gentleman. Thank you!
Please look at some bills that will reduce the budget and likely improve environment and health:
S1064 Cloud seeding (should be stopped, but the bill is just for accountability)
S1065 Weather modification (stop)
S1036 Human gene therapy, moratorium (jabs such as mRNA COVID shots often paid for by state/county)
