Idaho Rep. Bill Sali is urging Idahoans to send their ideas on energy issues as well as their fuel receipts to his offices so that he can forward them to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Sali says he wants to illustrate for Pelosi the hardship that high gas prices are having everyday in Idaho’s 1st Congressional District.

Idahoans who want their gas receipts forwarded to Speaker Pelosi can send them to Sali’s offices in Lewiston, Boise, Caldwell, Coeur d’Alene and Washington, D.C.
High food and fuel prices are increasing demand for relief from Idaho food banks, while those same costs are making it harder for banks to fill their supplies.
Roger Simon with the Idaho Food Bank says people on fixed incomes and low-income families are hardest hit, and demand will increase at the beginning of summer vacation when kids no longer get school lunches.

Officials say a statewide network of summer feeding programs helps fill that gap, and are hopeful of a Congressional agreement on the next Farm Bill, which includes a substantial increase in food relief funding.
