Rep. Maxine Bell, R-Jerome, co-chair of JFAC, started off this morning’s JFAC meeting - on the 100th day of the legislative session - saying, “It does bring to mind a saying I heard that no good deed will go unpunished - and some of our good deeds will be punished.” JFAC then started to work, going through a new version of what previously was SB 1222, regarding personnel cuts and federal stimulus spending. The bill earlier passed the Senate 34-1 but then was killed in the House. After that, JFAC will move on to a couple of trailer bills to match other legislation, and then action on the eight budgets that need redoing because yesterday, Gov. Butch Otter vetoed them.
