There are a couple dozen people gathered in the audience for today's legislative task force hearing on alternative funding sources for the Idaho State Police and the state parks, once they lose gas tax funds next July - a move many task force members now oppose, at least when it comes to the parks money. "By the end of the day, we'll make some decisions that will appropriately handle our situation," Co-Chairman Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, told the panel as it started its meeting.
