Little said this year focused on what he calls a disciplined, long-term approach to Idaho’s future.</p><h2>Fiscal responsibility</h2><p>“It was built on a simple principle, we do not sacrifice long-term stability for short term gain,” Little said. “Idaho has earned a reputation for fiscal responsibility, that doesn’t happen by accident.”</p><p>At the center of the governor’s “Enduring Idaho” plan is a balanced budget and maintaining Idaho’s triple-A credit rating.</p><p>“It reflects trust. It reflects discipline. And ultimately, it saves Idaho taxpayers money,” Little said.</p><p>Gov. Little also highlighted tax relief, saying tax conformities will put more money back into Idahoans’ pockets while helping keep the state financially stable.</p><h2>Education funding</h2><p>Education funding was another key priority. K-through-12 was one of only a few state agencies that didn’t see budget cuts.</p><p>“Since I took office, we’ve increased education spending and investment by 70%,” Little said. “That’s a significant investment in our future and reflects the values Idahoans place on strong schools and strong communities.”</p><p>The governor also pointed to workforce development programs like Idaho Launch, which aim to connect people with in-demand jobs and benefit schools like the College of Southern Idaho.</p><p>“CSI is probably one of the biggest recipients and beneficiaries of Launch,” Little said. “If you look at both the demand and the enrollment at CSI, it’s a result of our investments in Launch.”</p><h2>Infrastructure</h2><p>The governor also touched on Idaho’s infrastructure, especially water and transportation.</p><p>“Water is the lifeblood of our state,” Little said. “It supports our agriculture, our communities, and our growing energy needs.”</p><p>Despite challenges, Little said Idaho remains in a strong position moving forward.</p><p>“Because of what we’ve done to make sure that the Idaho economy continues on an upward trajectory, you’re going to be better off in Idaho than you are in any other state,” Little said.</p></div></body>
