Former longtime Bonners Ferry mayor and city councilman Darrel Kerby is substituting for Sen. Shawn Keough, R-Sandpoint, today, as Keough is with her husband Mike, who is hospitalized at Kootenai Medical Center and facing major open-heart surgery on Monday. “Sen. Keough is with her husband, and we’re going to keep her in our prayers,” JFAC Co-Chair Maxine Bell, R-Jerome, told the committee. Kerby said Keough told him he’d likely be subbing for her for the rest of the month.
JFAC has lots on its plate today: Setting budgets for the state Department of Corrections, Idaho Transportation Department and Department of Commerce.

Question of protocol Betsy… does the temp Senator get to sit on the rostrum of JFAC or is he relegated to the peanut gallery with the non-senior members?

He sat on the floor, where all the committee members except the co-chairs and vice-chairs sit, and Sen. Bair moved to the vice-chair’s seat where Sen. Keough usually sits.
