Elina DiCostanzo, Cooper Norman, 208-336-0800 Suzanne Offe, Marsh, 208-338-6448 BOISE — Companies in the construction business know all too well the pattern of family-owned businesses: less than two out of three survive into the second generation, and even fewer survive into the third. It takes a team effort to improve the odds, according to the speakers at an April 8 seminar on “Reinvigoration While Transitioning Your Company to the Next Generation.” The seminar will be held from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m., with registration beginning at 7 a.m., in the Statehouse Inn Showcase Room.

When I started my legal career, back east at a large law firm, I sat in my thirtieth floor window office as pedigreed attorneys wandered our corridors pontificating about Palsgraffian jurisprudence and spouting Latin phrases like “pes ipsus loquitur.” Alongside fellow graduates, I applied my learned education to real life facts, hoping, no certain, that I would later impart, like my mentors, delectable tidbits of legal wisdom to clients who would nod with appreciation and clarity of understanding, thankful that they now knew what to do.

liabilities without (i) a vote of two-thirds of the qualified electors, and (ii) an annual tax sufficient to pay principal and interest on such debt as it becomes due. The difficulty in achieving a two-thirds majority vote has made article VIII, section 3’s “proviso clause,” as it has been termed, the saving grace for many projects heretofore financed and constructed. The proviso clause, included in article VIII, section 3 after substantial debate at the Constitutional Convention of Idaho, provides an exception from the requirements of article VIII, section 3 for “ordinary and necessary expenses authorized by the general laws of the state.” Consequently, if an expense is deemed to be ordinary and necessary, a vote of the general electorate and the identification of a tax for repayment is not necessary for the debt to be incurred. Prior to the Frazier decision, the Idaho Supreme Court’s interpretation of “ordinary and necessary expenses” had become fairly well-defined to include repair of existing facilities, as well as construction of new facilities if the project was related to a facility that had been maintained by the municipality on a long-term basis and that facility had become obsolete or created public safety concerns. However, in Frazier, the Idaho Supreme Court breathed new life into its somewhat forgotten 1897 holding that “necessity for making the expenditure at or during such year” is required for an expense to be ordinary and necessary.
