This week, Logan Finney sat down with Idaho Capital Sun reporter Clark Corbin to preview the redistricting process that kicks off this week to draw new legislative and congressional district maps for future elections.

But first, on Tuesday Gov. Brad Little announced the activation of up to 150 Idaho National Guard members to support health care facilities across the state, as hospitals are filled beyond capacity with unvaccinated COVID-19 patients. You can find more details, and Little’s full speech, on the Idaho Reports blog.

On Thursday, September 9th, we’ll have a live special on “The Consequences of Crisis Care” with hospital representatives from around the state to update you on the COVID-19 surge, and the impacts it’s having on the delivery of healthcare services in every region of Idaho.

Idaho Reports and the Idaho Capital Sun will follow this week’s redistricting meetings in detail, and future meetings as they’re announced.
