The Legislature’s joint Economic Outlook and Revenue Assessment Committee is convening this morning at the Capitol, for a full day of hearings on the state of Idaho’s economy as lawmakers prepare to gauge how much tax revenue will be available for next year’s state budget. A couple of eastern Idaho members didn’t make it due to the snow, and will watch the live stream instead; and one presenter, from the Idaho National Laboratory, also bowed out.

The agenda is online here, and you can watch live here.
