When the Legislature’s Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee met for three days last week, high on its agenda was a review of proposed supplemental appropriations, which are the process by which state agencies request more money that wasn’t originally in their budget for the year.
The joint budget committee did not have the chance to review the Lt Governor’s $50,000 supplemental request, as the required documentation was not made available.
The Idaho Press reports, JFAC released a letter to McGeachin early last week demanding documentation for the request, and notifying her that they wouldn’t consider her request without receiving the full documentation, including unredacted legal invoices.
McGeachin has denied requests for these legal invoices, saying she couldn’t find any.
