Idaho Targets Boise, Abortion Bills Surface, City Council Loses A Voice
It’s been a busy week in Boise, so we’re chatting about the local stories that mattered most. Lead Producer Frankie Barnhill is catching you up with help from Boise State Public Radio’s George Prentice and our Hey Boise Newsletter Editor Blake Hunter.
We break down the two abortion bills introduced at the legislature this week, the abrupt and unintentional departure of Lisa Sánchez from Boise City Council, and trust breakdowns with the Boise Police Department. Plus, we share a little about why we love Boise so damn much.
Here’s the TikTok referenced in our conversation.
