Jason Kreizenbeck, Gov. Butch Otter’s chief of staff, said of the governor, “He is appreciative of the action by the Senate today. This might be the way to wrap up the session - these might have potential to be the going-home bills, if they’re adjusted right.” Kreizenbeck said the ethanol bill, HB 96, and the ITD fee bill, SB 1087, can be amended into something acceptable to the governor in his transportation intiative. “There’s only a couple ways to raise revenue for roads that are currently in code - gas tax and registration fees,” Kreizenbeck said. Those are the topics of these two bills, he said, which are now headed to the Senate’s amending order. Asked what would satisfy the governor, Kreizenbeck said, “Something significant that gets us down the road to solving the problem. … This is the first step.”
