Hello,
This is the first edition of The Roadmap, an update on what's happening in the Idaho State Legislature. It will come out every Monday during the session and will update you on what's happened during the week prior at the Capitol.
Occasionally, there may be a need to send out an additional newsletter if there are important dates coming up quickly that need our attention.
It will focus mostly on issues that affect our transportation industry, but on occasion it may delve into other issues of interest to us all. And, it's possible that there may be some national issues that need to be shared.
We will share important dates, upcoming events as well as action alerts. We will make it easy for you to find your legislator and know who your transportation representatives are for the session.
This first edition is covering the December organizational meetings for the House and Senate.
We welcome your input and will strive to report fairly and accurately. To share news or article ideas please reach out to info@iahd.com.
Cheers,
Bibiana Nertney
IAHD Communications Director
