Lawmakers Mull Election Consolidation

This year’s version (of the election consolidation bill) is 89 pages long, plus another separate bill on funding that’s a mere eight pages. The aim: Reform Idaho’s election system so that all local elections, whether they’re for city, county, sewer district, cemetery district, school board or what have you, are run by county clerks, and consolidate them on four specific dates with standardized polling places/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.

• Clark: Just making ‘em all float the same
• Speaker: Take school consolidation to the Senate
• Idahoans hunting, fishing more in down economy
• Idaho Senate votes 32-3 to export wolves
• Plans being made to adjust ‘09 budget
• Hill: Local-option tax wouldn’t pass House committee

Question: Would you like to see all Idaho elections consolidated onto one of 4 dates?
