Some news! @Scutlz_1 and I will be taking over Idaho state politics/legislative coverage for the rest of the session.
So if you know what's happening, have questions or want us to cover something, let us know:

A Boise-area parent said her son was called an "overgrown monkey," and a student told her niece to go to the back of the line because she was Black.
Other parents said racism is pervasive in schools - and administrators have done little to stop it.

When a manager at this Boise restaurant quit, the owner owed her $7,000. But she didn't go to the Idaho Department of Labor for help - she didn't see the point. It hasn’t been able to help her coworkers, she said.
@sallykrutzig and I found out why.

Poor Pluto! Downgraded to a "dwarf planet" in 2006... and in 2025, getting booted from Boise's solar system trail. Sorry, tiny friend.

Just interviewed an older gentleman (he's 83) who forgot to hang up when we finished. Two seconds later, I hear him go "ta-daahhh" as he excitedly calls over to his wife.
"Guess what? Your HERO just gave an interview to the Post and Courier, where I said many things!"
In Sept., an Idaho real estate firm offered free listings to any liberals leaving Idaho. It was an "out-there" ad, the owner told us, but industry experts said amid political polarization, it's not an outlier in the state. More here: idahostatesman.com/news/business/…
I didn't expect that a conversation about red-light cameras would be so interesting - but yesterday's ACHD meeting showed that some see the cameras as a slippery slope toward government overreach and surveillance. More here:

Boise Police Chief Ron Winegar is retiring — again.
@Scutlz_1 sat down with the outgoing chief where he reflected on the department's growth and his upcoming retirement including plans to "finally" clean the garage.

Boise resident Mel Walker is tired of waiting for local officials to get people on the Greenbelt to slow down, so he's taken matters into his own hands.
"I’m an old guy," he said. "I don’t want to be dead before they do something."

It's been a long road for Boise's Catholic Diocese to get the city's signoff on its plans for a new office building near the North End. On Tuesday, the city finally gave its blessing:

In June, @AdaCoSheriff told county commissioners that "our communities are becoming more dangerous."
But in Boise, Meridian and Ada County, crime rates (and overall crime) are going down. What explains the discrepancy? We dug into the data: idahostatesman.com/news/local/com…
Officials say bikers are going too dang fast on the Boise River Greenbelt. (idahostatesman.com/news/local/com…)
Boise(area) residents: Have any of you stopped using the Greenbelt because it felt unsafe? lmk!
Men housed at Idaho’s maximum prison describe a culture of collective punishment where rights, like visitation, are swiftly revoked.
“When people don’t have hope or something to look forward to in here … it becomes a dangerous place.”

After a wildfire, @IdahoDOI's director has a grim job: he visits communities affected by fires, holding town halls to answer questions from people who have lost everything. These days, those visits are on the rise.

Idaho is losing a farm a day. Millions of acres, once filled by crops, have been sold off, rezoned and developed into stores and suburban neighborhoods.
