No Small Potatoes

This past week I had the opportunity to hear Admiral (ret.) Archie Clemins who is a member of the Idaho Science and Technology Council Advisory Board share a presentation he gave to the full Idaho Legislature. The presentation encompassed recommendations given to the state to stimulate investment in technology.  The recommendations included a number of items including tax breaks for Angle funding, matching funds for grants and tax breaks for certain investments in bio-energy. Over-all, the total cost of the recommendations totaled just under $50 million. I would say this is a good first step. 

You can here the latest on this topic this Wednesday via webcast from 8:00am – 4:30pm.   The Governors Advisory Councils are meeting and hopefully, preparing to take the next step.
