Ken McClure

A specific policy-benefit route is documented for Chobani, a company represented on IACI's published board. BoiseDev's March 25, 2025 hearing report identifies Ken McClure as Chobani's lobbyist and reports that he supported HB 436 to help finance water/wastewater infrastructure for the company's planned $500 million Twin Falls expansion. The report identifies House Majority Leader Jason Monks as the bill's advocate and describes mixed local-government responses. This is contemporaneous reporting of the company's stated legislative objective, not a conclusion drawn from a political donation. The primary bill text confirms the mechanism. Section 4, adding subsection (5) to Idaho Code 50-2904, permits a plan amendment for growth or development of a manufacturing project where all parcels in the revenue allocation area are owned or controlled by the project owner and affiliates. The financing provision may be extended up to twenty years, with revenue allocation proceeds continuing until the amended termination date. The provision enables qualifying infrastructure financing; it is not itself proof of a cash grant or a tax exemption awarded to Chobani. The Legislature's bill-history page reports House passage 57–13 on March 31, Senate passage 28–7 on April 3, and Governor Little's signature on April 4, 2025, as Session Law Chapter 300. It lists retroactive effectiveness to January 1, 2025. Many legislators across different Republican factions voted for the bill; passage should not be presented as proof of a single political network. IACI's current published board identifies Brandon Dansie, Vice President, People Team, Chobani Idaho Inc. Thus the documented connection is an IACI-represented company's stated infrastructure need, its named lobbyist's advocacy, a matching statutory mechanism and the governor's signature. This establishes a company-specific intended policy benefit and Little's official action. It does not establish a personal financial benefit to Little or , quid pro quo, 's own lobbying position on this bill, or direction by WEF, Soros, Rockefeller organizations or . The next records needed to quantify realized benefit are the Twin Falls plan amendment, development agreement, bond/debt documents and actual infrastructure expenditures.
