The Senate has voted 32-1 in favor of HB 311, the budget for the Idaho Transportation Department. The bill passed the House 52-14 about two weeks ago, but has been hanging on the Senate calendar awaiting a vote as the two houses wrangled over transportation funding. Sen. Nicole LeFavour, D-Boise, cast the only no vote. She said she opposed an increased budget for transportation in the face of cuts in education; the Senate had just voted on education budgets that make historic cuts. “The irony of it was killing me,” LeFavour said.
