Season 49 Episode 16: 103 Days and Counting

Idaho Reports

We are now more than one hundred days into the legislative session, with major budget bills still hanging in the balance. After weeks of discussion about critical race theory in Idaho classrooms, are lawmakers any closer to a compromise? This week, Hayat Norimine of the Idaho Statesman, Clark Corbin of the Idaho Capital Sun, and James Dawson of Boise State Public Radio join the pundits to help make sense of why the legislature still hasn’t adjourned, the debate over critical race theory in schools, and more. But first, the legislature’s wild ride continued this week, starting with attempted veto overrides on two bills to trim the governor’s emergency powers and put them under legislative oversight.
