Roger,<BR>><BR>> Our investigative reporter, Jay Howell, has written<BR>> [<A href="http://www.idahofreedom.net/blog/idahos-new-congressional-districts" target=_blank>http://www.idahofreedom.net/blog/idahos-new-congressional-districts</A>] an<BR>> interesting story on the impact of the federal stimulus page on Idaho's 36<BR>> congressional districts. What's that you say? Idaho has only two<BR>>
congressional districts? Well, don't tell the federal government, which<BR>> apparently is under the impression Idaho has many more lists millions of<BR>> dollars being spent to "save" jobs in congressional districts that simply<BR>> don't exist!<BR>><BR>> This week's<BR>> [<A href="http://www.idahofreedom.net/blog/state-government-could-require-transparency-local-expenses" target=_blank>http://www.idahofreedom.net/blog/state-government-could-require-transparency-local-expenses</A>]<BR>> commentary is on the need for transparency in local government<BR>> expenditures. The tools to hold local government accountable already are<BR>> available. Why not use them? There's a great deal of waste out there; time<BR>> to make it easy to track down and eliminate it.<BR>><BR>> Interestingly, the state of Idaho has developed a<BR>> [<A href="http://efficiency.idaho.gov/" target=_blank>http://efficiency.idaho.gov</A>] website
so that citizens can suggest<BR>> spending<BR>> cuts and changes to how government operates. I think what we've been<BR>> saying<BR>> all along about the size of government and the waste we're seeing out<BR>> there<BR>> is starting to catch on within the halls of power.<BR>><BR>> If you haven't done so already, please check out our new<BR>> [<A href="http://www.idahofreedom.net/node/159" target=_blank>http://www.idahofreedom.net/node/159</A>] Events Calendar.
