The south central Idaho city of Jerome will serve as the host of Idaho’s next “Capital for a Day” event on Thursday, Gov. Brad Little announced.
The events are:
10 a.m. to noon at El Sombrero Restaurant, located at 143 W. Main St.
1:15-3 p.m. Thursday at Jerome High School, located at 104 S. Tiger Drive.
Capital for a Day events feature Little and many of the state’s agency directors traveling to smaller communities throughout Idaho. During the events, the governor and agency heads discuss state issues and programs and conduct an open forum for local residents to ask questions or make suggestions.
“It is an honor to bring ‘Capital for a Day’ to the wonderful community of Jerome,” Little said in a news release last week. “This event will give the good people of Jerome County the opportunity to discuss what’s on their minds when it comes to good government and how we can better serve them.”
Little’s predecessor, former Gov. Butch Otter, also conducted regular Capital for a Day events around the state during his three terms in office.
Officials set to join Little at the Jerome event include:
Idaho Lt. Gov. Scott Bedke
Idaho Supreme Court Justice Robyn Brody
Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane
Department of Health and Welfare Director Alex Adams
Idaho State Department of Agriculture Director Chanel Tewalt
Idaho Office of Energy and Mineral Resources Administrator Rich Stover
Idaho Department of Environmental Quality Director Jess Byrne
Department of Insurance Director Dean Cameron
Department of Lands Deputy Director Bill Haagenson
Idaho Transportation Department Chief Deputy Director Dan McElhinney
