Tell Chuck Winder: Stop working with Dems to block conservative budget reforms!

Idaho Senate Pro Tem Chuck Winder is allowing Democrats to block conservative reforms enacted to limit government spending growth.

 Let’s send Winder a loud and clear message: Idahoans want these conservative reforms now!

 Just weeks ago, members of the powerful budget committee developed a new, more conservative way to set the state’s budget for the year. Lawmakers wrote and passed maintenance budgets, which allow the state to keep up basic operations in 2025. Passing those maintenance budgets now gives lawmakers more time to review new spending requests.

 But, the Democrats voted against the new process. Now, Winder is putting a hold on the entire process and pressuring the budget committee to return to the old budget process, which led to massive spending increases in recent years — up 50% in just 4 years!

 If Winder gets his and the Democrats’ way, more massive government spending increases will surely follow, meaning no tax relief for you this year!
