Boise, Idaho ~ In a recent development, Governor Brad Little of Idaho has expressed his satisfaction with the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee's (JFAC) decision to move forward with his KEEPING PROMISES plan. The plan includes a recommendation to allocate $30 million in ongoing funding for crucial water infrastructure projects.
Governor Little acknowledged the hard work put in by Idaho farmers last year to reach a new water deal that safeguards the state's agriculture and maintains its water sovereignty. He emphasized the importance of this funding in ensuring the success of the new deal, which relies heavily on these infrastructure projects.

The governor also commended the Idaho Legislature for prioritizing this issue and preventing the state from facing similar challenges as other states in the Colorado Basin, where control of water has been relinquished to courts, federal government, or other states. With this move, Governor Little hopes to secure Idaho's future and protect its valuable resources.
