Nonini Pushes Revamped KTEC Bill

The House has voted 62-7 in favor of HB 236, a revamped version of Rep. Bob Nonini’s bill to let the Kootenai Technical Education Campus, a joint project of three North Idaho school districts for vocational ed, move up its construction schedule by a year, by spending money as it comes in from a tax levy, rather than waiting until the money’s all in before building. Nonini, R-Coeur d’Alene, told the House he worked with some of the lawmakers who objected to his earlier version, to include provisions including requiring contractors who bid on the project to be informed up-front that payment could be delayed if taxes lag/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.

Question: Why do you think Nonini is pushing this legislation to hurry up construction of the Kootenai Technical Education Campus when he is at the point in pushing Tom Luna’s questionable reforms?
