This episode runs through the Idaho fights driving the conservative cycle: illegal immigration and public safety, the immigration bills stalled in the legislature, ballooning school-administration costs and a widening student-proficiency gap, the case for school choice and the $5,000 education tax credit, Medicaid's climb to the state's largest budget line, and an abortion measure headed for the ballot — a wide-ranging read on where Idaho's money, power, and values collide.
