JFAC is hearing from Senate Local Government & Taxation Chair Tim Corder, R-Mountain Home, this morning, and he'll be followed by Senate and House education chairmen John Goedde, left, and Bob Nonini, right, shown here visiting outside the JFAC chamber before their presentation. After those final presentations, the joint committee will make some big decisions: A target figure for next year's budget, and what to allocate for raises for state employees.
