Congressman Mike Simpson is making moves on public land protection, but can a bipartisan caucus hold back big development plans? And the Greater Boise Auditorium District elections could shape our city’s event scene. Plus, Meridian is unveiling a new ninja course designed to make sure a little girl’s dream lives on in a powerful way.
