TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho dairy group has sent a letter to Jerome County commis- sioners in opposition to a pending contract that would lease out space in the county’s new jail to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Idaho Dairymen Associa- tion Executive Director Bob Naerebout told the Capital Press that many dairymen are concerned with the possibility of losing workers in south-central Idaho with the increased ICE presence. Because the dairy industry does not qualify for the H2-A or other visa program, it cannot bring in foreigner workers. A signif- icant portion of working Hispanics in the area arrived without legal work status, according to Naerebout. Workers fear ICE agents “will be looking for them” and some have already left their jobs because, with the looming ICE jail contract, they feel they are no longer “This is not a contract that is needed.” — Bob Naerebout, Idaho Dairymen Associa- tion Executive Director safe, Naerebout said. The Idaho Dairymen Association’s letter to the commissioners asks them to consider the families that could be split up if ICE presence increases in the community. The Idaho Milk Processors Association has also joined the dairymen group in their stance against the contract. Under the pending contract with ICE, the new Jerome County jail would set aside 50 beds for ICE at a rate of $75 per bed per day, estimated to bring in an additional $1.34 million to the county annually. A copy of an ICE memo- randum given to the news- paper by the Jerome County Sheriff’s Office states that no on-site ICE compliance personnel would be housed at the Jerome facility. It also states that the county would provide the personnel and services for the detentions, including escort and trans- port of detainees. ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice stated in an email to the newspaper that federal regulations prevent the agency from talking about any potential deten- tion contracts. Although the contract could bring in a substantial amount of money to the county, Naerebout contends that it will be offset by the loss Hispanic workers. Naerebout cited an economic analysis by the University of Idaho which showed that even a 1 percent decrease in milk processed in a local market for cheese alone could lead to an annual $27 million loss in local revenue. “This is not a contract that is needed,” he said. Bend lawmaker announces run for governor AP Photo/Elaine Thompson BRIEFLY Washington: 14 have life without parole for crimes committed as minors OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — In Wash- ington state, the Department of Corrections says 14 inmates are still serving life without parole for crimes committed while they were juveniles. Seventeen others have been resen- tenced, and two received new life-with- out-parole terms. Before 2014, juvenile offenders were treated the same as adults and would automatically get life without parole for first-degree murder. In 2014 and 2015, state lawmakers revised a statute to include specific sentencing instructions for 16- and 17-year-old offenders convicted of aggravated first-degree murder to ensure that mitigating factors be considered. The Legislature also allowed all those convicted before turning 18 and sentenced to 20 or more years in prison to petition for release after 20 years. The Associated Press is reviewing juvenile life without parole in states after recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions. Crews respond to central Washington brush fire MABTON, Wash. (AP) — Multiple fire agencies were battling a brush fire in central Washington. The Yakima Herald-Republic reports that the blaze about 10 miles south of Mabton was estimated at between 8 and 10 square miles. Yakima County Fire District No. 5, the Bureau of Land Management, Mabton and Yakama Nation firefighters were among those fighting the fire, which began Sunday evening. SALEM (AP) — A Republican lawmaker from the mountain town of Bend announced his candidacy for governor Thursday, aiming to unseat Democratic Gov. Kate Brown in 2018. Rep. Knute Buehler said on Twitter he is “ready to bring change with educa- tion, budget and economic reforms.” He told editors of The Bulletin, Bend’s daily news- paper, on Wednesday that he planned to announce he was running. A website has also been activated asking for donations of as little as $10 and beyond $1,000. Buehler said retirement pay formulas should be reworked in the pension system for state employees, which has been draining state coffers, and the level of health care payments reformed. The Senate Republican Office this week said the state’s pension debt has surged to $52 billion. “Oregon’s ticking time bomb known as PERS is on the brink of exploding,” the Republicans said, referring to the Public Employees Retirement System. The Legislature is domi- nated by Democrats. The highest GOP state official is Secretary of State Dennis Richardson, who occupies the second-highest office in the state. Brown sprung to the governorship from that position in 2015 when then Gov. John Kitzhaber resigned amid a state ethics investigation into alleged influence-peddling by his fiancee.

Buehler, an orthopedic surgeon, would need to win the Republican primary to run for the state’s highest office in November 2018. M-F DRIVE - IN FM/AM RADIO SOUND GATES OPEN AT 7:30 P.M.
