We bring some data to this conversation, so you have to listen.

As the 2022 Idaho legislative session nearly closed last week, librarians continued to be the late session wedge du jour for the far right, which made the state library budget an arbitrary bargaining chip for the session's close. In this week's episode, The Idaho 97 Project team discusses the end game for the session, Boise's amazing Treefort Fest, action you can take for your own mental wellness in these trying times, action you can take with Gov. Brad Little over the coming days (see The Idaho 97 Project Blog for the latest action alert), and, of course, the far-right Idaho actor of the week, Rep. Chad Christensen of Ammon (though he should be from Athol). This podcast was recorded on March 25, 2022 and is available on Apple, Google & Spotify podcasts as well as on our website, where you can sign up for our juicy email alerts and find all the ways to follow us @theidaho97.
