BPD Lawsuits, A New Investigation, And December Joy
It’s been a busy week of news in Boise, so host Emma Arnold’s chatting about the stories behind the headlines with the Idaho Capital Sun’s Kelcie Moseley-Morris and our Hey Boise Newsletter Editor Blake Hunter. From recent tort claims filed by two abortion rights protesters against the City of Boise and Boise Police to an independent investigation into a recently retired police captain with white supremacist views, there’s a lot to talk through. Plus, we share what we’re looking forward to in the final month of 2022!
Speaking of: we want to hear from you! We’re collecting New Years resolutions and predictions. What do you want Boise to become next year? Have a prediction for the City of Trees in 2023? Let us know by sending us a voicemail or text: 208-546-9485.
Can’t get enough of us?! We get it. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram.
