Here's a link to my full story at spokesman.com on how a squabble between North Idaho lawmakers in JFAC this morning nearly killed a highway bonding plan. Half of North Idaho's delegation fought for full funding for a U.S. Highway 95 construction project next year, and the other half fought for an alternative plan aimed at saving the state money on interest costs. But JFAC members uncomfortable about any additional highway bonding opposed the pricier proposal, and neither plan could get a majority, leaving the joint committee deadlocked on both. In the end - after four votes, two of which were tied - JFAC voted 12-8 in favor of a $12 million bonding program for next year, down from the $26 million Gov. Butch Otter requested.
