Crapo to Discuss Supreme Court, AG, Budget on 'Capitol Watch'

CRAPO TO DISCUSS SUPREME COURT, AG, BUDGET ON "CAPITOL WATCH"

Live statewide cable call-in program airs Tuesday, November 8th

The nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court, the recent passage of the Agriculture Appropriations measure, and the Deficit Reduction budget package will be the topics of discussion, among others, with Idaho Senator Mike Crapo next week on "Capitol Watch." Crapo's "Capitol Watch" airs the second Tuesday of each month on most cable access stations in Idaho. As a member of the Senate Budget and Finance Committees, Crapo has dealt directly with these issues recently and expects to meet personally with Judge Alito in coming weeks in preparation for Alito's nomination hearings.

"Judge Alito's nomination and the Deficit Reduction package are both serious issues being addressed by the Senate," Crapo said. "Also, with the recent allocation of funding for the Fruit and Vegetables for Schools program by the Senate, I'll share what the benefits of this program will mean to Idaho producers and children. It is important that we address these issues with serious consideration and I look forward to hearing from Idahoans on these subjects and others."
