We’re back with another edition of our Friday news roundup, with plenty to chat about. Idaho lawmakers are pushing two bills that would make it harder for Boise to address homelessness — one criminalizing sleeping outside and the other blocking shelter expansion. Meanwhile, Boise State President Marlene Tromp is heading to the University of Vermont, leaving big questions about the future of Idaho’s largest university. 

Plus, Meridian is coming together in a colorful protest for inclusion Saturday afternoon — and if you need some inspiration, there’s a multi-genre art event in Boise Saturday night.
