“We support FEMA’s efforts to maximize taxpayer dollars by choosing simpler, more cost effective modeling techniques when appropriate. However, in cases where FEMA treats a flood control structure as if it has been completely wiped off the map, we may be unnecessarily devaluing property and hurting the economies of cities, towns, counties and businesses. This approach is particularly troubling since FEMA has the tools at its disposal to obtain more precise data.”

“Today’s ruling is a significant step in rolling back the health care law that was forced on the American people last year. As I’ve said from the beginning, the federal government has no right to force Americans to purchase health insurance. We need to start over and reform our health care system in a way that reconnects the doctor and patient while removing the government from this highly personal issue.”

This well-reasoned decision issued by Judge Winmill is a credit to all the Idahoans who put a great deal of time and effort into crafting the various protections for Idaho lands.

“My pledge to Idahoans is that we rein in uncontrollable federal spending."

“In a state like Idaho – where two-thirds of the land is owned by the federal government – we have unique insight into the impacts that overly-prescriptive, inflexible land management policies can have on people and communities, as well as local and state government.”

“I am pleased that CSI has received funding that will enable Idahoans to work in the renewable energy sectors."

“These nominees have met the high standards required to attend our military academies and demonstrated a level of commitment to our nation that is admirable."

“I am disappointed by the passage of the New START Treaty. This treaty remains deeply flawed despite many efforts to improve it. We have missed a great chance to strengthen this agreement simply because its supporters refused to accept even the smallest changes necessary to protect U.S. national security.”

“Idahoans are getting fed up with the broken promises of the federal government on endangered species. The federal government, environmental groups and courts need to live up to their end of the deal.”

“Since this debate began, I have been adamant about not raising taxes on any Americans. This legislation helps accomplish that by maintaining all tax rates and protecting those who would be hit by the estate tax."
