The Chamber has strenuously advocated for increased PTE funding to meet the expansive need of employees for our area's businesses. We strongly support Mike Rush's budget in which he calls for substantial increases for various PTE programs. We encourage our membership to reach the JFAC members directly or submit written testimony to Kathryn Yost, Committee secretary at kyost@house.idaho.gov to show your support for this budget request.
