JFAC sending weekly budgets to the floor

Spending by the Idaho state government has grown 54% over just the last four years. 

Spending comes from three different types of accounts — the general fund, dedicated funds, and federal funds. The general fund money consists of most of the sales taxes and personal and corporate income taxes that you pay to Idaho.

Here is a stunning statistic. Prior to this year, the legislature has only ever reviewed just 19% of the total spending. We'd approve the other 81% of the billions of dollars being spent without digging into it. That spending would continue to roll over year after year and never get a review by the legislature.
