Visionaries:

1) Highway 95 Bill---Sen. Riggs felt he didn't have enough votes in the
Senate to
pass the bill so it has now been amended to put on the fall ballot
as a
citizen's advisory. We all have mixed feelings about this.

2) Good Sam Bill--this passed out of the Senate Health and Welfare
Committee
by a 9-0 vote, and will go on to the Senate Floor for a vote this
week.

3) HB 741 Recycling Bill--This bill passed the House by a 46-22 margin
and
goes on to the Senate. The average American used about 750
pounds
of paper a year. California lawyers use over 2,000 pounds on a
per capital
basis.

4) HB 658--Emergency Services Account--sets up a fund for purchasing
56 new ambulance for rural districts. This will be financed
through
increasing the cost of a new driver's license by $4.00.

5) Head Start--no funding was provided this year.

6) House supports pared back financing for new subsidized medical care
for children of Idaho's working poor. The bill now goes to the
House.

Rep. Tom Trail/Dist. 5
