Idaho Legislature’s budget committee conducts orientation for new members • Idaho Capital Sun
The Idaho Legislature’s new-look budget committee conducted an orientation Tuesday at the Idaho State Capitol in Boise to help new members prepare for the upcoming legislative session.
Rather than debating budgets, the meeting served as a sort of orientation for the nine new legislators who will serve on the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee during the 2025 legislative session.
The Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee, or JFAC for short, is a powerful legislative committee that meets daily during the legislative session to set all of the budgets for every state agency and department.
Although the committee’s two co-chairs – Sen. Scott Grow, R-Eagle, and Rep. Wendy Horman, R-Idaho Falls, are retaining their chairmanships, there are multiple changes coming to the committee for the 2025 legislative session.

Have a news tip?
Nine of the 20 JFAC members did not serve on the committee during the 2024 legislative session, due to a combination of factors including legislators who lost re-election bids this year, and legislators who were reassigned to other committees for the upcoming legislative session.
JFAC did not consider any budget proposals or vote on any budgets Tuesday.
The 2025 legislative session kicks off Jan. 6. JFAC members plan to conduct their first meeting of the year Jan. 7.

I remember watching a documentary about Idaho’s wildlands. A narrator said there were probably many parts of the state where no human being has ever set foot. I believe that, but I stay relatively close to the highways. If I were 30 years younger, I would probably enjoy exploring the back country, but today, unless a plane takes me in and out, it’s not happening. I can’t say definitively that there is one spot that I find better than others. We’re surrounded by beautiful terrain, however. One place keeps calling me back.
Like a Scene from a Legendary Movie
When I go over the mountain between Gooding and Fairfield, I take time to stop at the overlook above the Camas Prairie. It reminds me of a scene in Exodus, where the Paul Newman character takes an American woman to look across a flat plain leading to Mount Tabor. He explains that’s the site where Deborah gathered her armies. It makes me feel there is something godly about the Camas Prairie. I keep going back to this spot. Sometimes I take along a folding chair and sit and look at the world below.
Slow Down and See the Work of the Creator
Fairfield may be nothing more than a blip as people speed down Route 20, but it’s their loss. On the other side of the highway is some of the prettiest country in Idaho. It’s going to be a lot less lush this spring, but drought conditions haven’t been nearly as severe in the central highlands. But if I’m granted a few more years by the Almighty, I plan to see the prairie for many more springs.
