The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

In my garage toolbox, I have a special tool that releases the spring that holds a set of automobile drum-brake shoes in place.

If you’ve ever done a brake job, you know what a pain it is to do one without the right tools.

I think I last used that tool in 1988 while in the Army at Fort Benning, Ga. to do a brake job on the 1971 Ford F100 that I had just bought for $700.

Two decades later, the tool still sits in my toolbox just in case I need it again.

This week, Idaho legislators started cleaning out Idaho’s economic development tool box, and I have to wonder if they may be throwing away some important tools they may need again someday.
