Zach Tudor - Associate Laboratory Director, National and Homeland Security at Idaho National Laboratory spoke to City Club members and guest on the Cyber Threats facing our Nation Today and what the INL is helping to do about them. My favorite question was "What keeps you up at night?", and he said the better question is "What keeps me getting up in the morning?". He doesn't live his life in fear! This was a great speech and lots of fascinating information. We hope you enjoy it.

It was great to have Ty Blackford on our City Club stage. He did a great job of giving us an overview of the work the Idaho Environmental Coalition does and his experience after 32 years in the clean up industry. Such a great, informative program. Thanks Mr. Blackford for giving us your time and knowledge.

Excellent Program on the City Club stage by Bill Manny and Lauren Melink "Behind the Scenes of Idaho Public Television". They discussed the importance of supporting education, delivering unbiased news, the challenges of documenting Idaho history, and future directions for Idaho Public Television. They also talked about their roles with the popular program Outdoor Idaho.

Great insight as the honorable B. Lynn Winmill discussed the constitutional right of privacy in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, 142 S. Ct. 2228 (2022).

Listen to Luke Mayville speak to the CIty Club members on his passion for Education in Idaho and the Quality Education Act that will be on the ballot this November.

-Idaho ranks dead last of 50 states in funding for K-12 education. We're facing a crisis-level teacher shortage with teacher pay near the lowest in the nation. School districts are cutting traditional Idaho programs in welding, carpentry, and ag science.

-This November, voters will likely have a chance to vote for the Quality Education Act, a citizen initiative that would boost pay for teachers and invest in strong K-12 programs.

-The Quality Education Act is paid for without a penny of new taxes for any individual making under $250,000 or any married couple making under $500,000.
