A memorial service has been scheduled to remember the late Nampa Mayor Rick Hogaboam; there was a lot of emotional testimony - both pro and con - regarding kratom at the Capitol Thursday; and Bogus Basin is set to say goodbye to what turned out to be an unfortunately warm winter season.

The mayor of Nampa died unexpectedly Wednesday night. Mayor Rick Hogaboam suffered what was described as a "medical emergency" while he was speaking at a public gathering in Eagle; cities hoping to access the state's insurance program are out of luck: and two very separate bills surfaced at the Statehouse Wednesday - one about drivers who speed (but don't pay the fines) and another about drivers who go to slowly (for a very good reason).

Idaho lawmakers are hoping to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education; Governor Brad Little has signed a package of more budget cuts; and lawmakers have decided to nix a bill that would have set up a state program to deal with the growing problem of rats in the Treasure Valley.

Emotions ran deep during a hearing on InVitroFertilization at the Statehouse Monday; yet another bill has triggered yet another debate over immigration Monday; and another measure has surfaced regarding facilities for transgender people.

The bill targeting Boise's Pride Flag is one step closer to being on the governors desk. With 165,000 spring breakers expected to flow through the Boise Airport this week, we'll hear what unpaid TSA workers have to say about that: we have a report from this year's Idaho Women's Day March; and we've got the latest on yet another anti-vax bill at the legislature.

There is yet another "library bill" at the Idaho Capitol; a fair amount of lawmakers are putting their foot down saying "no" to cuts to Health and Welfare; there's a new effort to make it illegal to stay in the left lane of traffic; and wait till you hear what one legislator said at the end of his committee meeting Thursday.

We'll tell you about a much sought-after change for the Idaho suicide prevention hotline; at the Capitol there's a proposed measure on how Idaho does (or doesn't) collect sales tax from yard sales; Idaho gas prices have jumped 33-cents in just one week; and there's very good news for the University of Idaho women's basketball team.

Legislation blocking cities from developing more starter homes is on life support in the Idaho Senate, The Idaho House has again approved calling on the US Supreme Court to overturn the ruling affirming a right to same-sex marriage, the region's outdoor recreation economy forges into headwinds, and Boise State and Idaho basketball pushing for conference championships.

Idaho lawmakers introduce a bill to repeal voter-approved medicaid expansion, the search for Boise State University's next President resumes, a March presidential primary could return to Idaho, and homes destroyed by wildfire have a greater impact on pollution levels that previously thought.

Budget cuts ready for the Governor's signature, but lawmakers have spared some Idaho medicaid programs from cuts, plus how the cost at the gas pump fuels many Idahoans' overall view of the economy. And, AC Boise debuts with a win!
