Summary
The Idaho Senate State Affairs Committee voted unanimously by voice to send two gubernatorial appointments — Lori Wolfe for Director of the Division of Financial Management and Matthew Whittington for reappointment to the Idaho State Racing Commission — to the full Senate with a recommendation that each be confirmed.
The Idaho Senate State Affairs Committee voted by voice to send two gubernatorial appointments to the full Senate with recommendations that both be confirmed.
Committee members moved and seconded motions to advance the nominations during the committee’s opening minutes. Senator Harris moved to send the gubernatorial appointment of Lori Wolfe as director of the Division of Financial Management to the Senate floor with a recommendation she be confirmed; the motion was seconded by Senator Berndt. Senator Dan Hartog moved to send the gubernatorial reappointment of Matthew Whittington to the Idaho State Racing Commission to the Senate floor with a recommendation he be confirmed; the motion was seconded by Senator Taves. Both motions carried by voice vote with no opposition recorded in the transcript.
The moves occurred during the committee’s initial business while the group noted a quorum. The committee chair called for discussion on both motions and, hearing none, asked those in favor to say “aye.” The chair later confirmed that each motion carried. The committee did not state numerical vote tallies on the record in the transcript.
