I am not familiar with PERSI.  What is PERSI and what will the focus of the meetings be?

Subject:	Oct 9th PERSI Town Meeting--Idaho Public TV

One of the Interim Legislative Committees that has been meeting this summer
and fall has been
developing legislation concerning the PERSI Program.   Sen. Margarite
McLaughlin,  Sen.
Joe Stegner, and I are the north Idaho legislative members of the
committee.  The three of us
us wanted to hold public hearings around the state to update the public as
well as solicit public
input.   Because of economic reasons no public hearings will be funded.

However, the three of us felt it was important enough to hold town meetings
in the North
to update the public and get citizen input.  Our next meeting is scheduled
for Octob er 26th and
a final meeting will be held in November to craft the legislation.   Some
of the committee members
from S.E. Idaho will also hold town meetings.

We have scheduled the town meetings with Idaho Public TV for October 9th
from 1-3 pm.  It is not
a perfect date but the best we could work out.   The University of Idaho
location will be at the TV
Studio just behind the Admin. Bldg.   The Lewiston site is at Lewis Clark
State College in the
Multi-Media Bldg in the TCC Room   The Contact is Doug McCartnie
(799-2228).  The
University of Idaho contact is Gens Johnson (885-6724).   The Couer d'
Alene meeting will
be held at the Library Bld on the NIC campus.  The contact is Candice
Wheeler.  Her phone is
769-5902.   Alan Winkle, PERSI Director, will be with us at the meeting.

We urge all interested citizen to attend the town meetings.   We are not
set up for phone calls.
If you have any specific calls, please call Sen. Joe Stegner 208-743-3032.
