Thank you for reaching out and for making me aware of this petition. I appreciate the opportunity to stay informed about issues that matter to Idahoans.

While the State Controller's Office does not have any authority over the statewide budgeting process or the allocation of funds for higher education programs, we respect the importance of civic engagement and the separation of powers within state government. I wish those involved in this effort the very best as they pursue their goals through the appropriate channels.

Sincerely,
Idaho State Controller's Office
