Gov. Otter has signed an executive order requiring state agencies to prove they are employing only legally documented workers if they want a share of the state's $1.24 billion in federal economic stimulus money.The order signed Friday applies to all state agencies, but not the Department of Education, Legislature or courts."The State of Idaho has a responsibility to its citizens to ensure that public funds, including but not limited to state tax dollars and federal stimulus funds, are not paid to those who have entered our nation illegally or cannot legally work in the United States whereas, those who choose to enter our nation illegally should not be rewarded for their actions. The State of Idaho should work to ensure that jobs funded with state tax dollars and federal stimulus funds are available for those who are lawfully entitled to work in our State and nation." signed order link @Gov.Otters site
