This week's report examines how Boise defies Idaho's flag law by officially adopting the Pride flag as a city symbol, while Bonners Ferry creates 'special occasions' for their Canadian flag. 

Beyond creative flag law challenges, we cover Idaho AG's convictions of child predators, questions about who really benefits from Micron's $15 billion expansion, a tragic Highway 20 collision claiming seven lives, and significant legal developments across multiple counties including Lori Daybell's ongoing trials.
