PAYETTE COUNTY â As reported Friday by the Lewiston Tribune, week 16 of the 2021 Idaho legislative session saw some controversy in the form of the suspension and subsequent resignation of Rep. Aaron von Ehlinger, R-Lewiston, following a House Ethics Committee investigation into rape allegations brought against him by a 19-year-old legislative intern. Otherwise, the session continues as the Legislature works to hammer out the stateâs budgets for the 2021-22 fiscal year.
As pointed out by attorney Jeremy Pisca of Risch Pisca PLLC in a news release Friday, the Idaho Constitution requires the Legislature present a balanced budget âand the session cannot conclude until every budget is set.â College and university budgets, as well as those for K-12 schools, are back to the House of Representatives as of Friday following the defeat of their previous versions earlier in the session.
