COEUR d'ALENE - The Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry is meeting at The Coeur d'Alene Resort this week to begin developing its 2014 legislative agenda.

Alex LaBeau, president of IACI, said the group is holding seminars on a variety of topics, which they plan to take before their board of directors later this year.

"This way we have a half of a year to work out the agenda," he said. "And we'll have a chance to fine tune everything before we get into the session next year."

The event attracted Idaho Governor Butch Otter, about 60 state legislators and 130 IACI members representing companies from the dairy industry to the mining industry, he said. Full story. Jeff Selle, Cda Press

The event was hosted by the North Idaho Political Action Committee aka the Reasonable Republicans. Any ideas as to what items may figure in the 2014 legislative agenda?
