Idaho is in a real fix. For whatever reason, people from Seattle Portland LA are stampeding into our state in unprecedented numbers.

In this episode, Kevin Kinnally and Michael Sanderson break down the whole budget plan from the 2025 session. In a year with an unmatched amount of fiscal pressure and federal angst, State fiscal leaders assembled a complex budget plan to resolve a major shortfall in the one-year budget, and to make gains on the longer-term forecast. Counties will feel some of these changes in their own bottom line, making their own budget passage that much more difficult. Get a rundown on the big picture, what uncertainty remains, and more on this week's recap.

The Seanad has heard that Clare isn't immune to the "sex for rent" scandal. Efforts are underway to progress a bill that would make it illegal for those letting a property to offer reduced or free accommodation in exchange for sex. Under the proposed legislation, which is now at second stage, landlords found guilty of the offence could face fines of up to €50,000. Labour Senator Laura Harmon says properties in this county have appeared in online listings bearing the hallmarks of a "sex for rent" advertisement.

CPS Energy plans to rebuild its existing single-circuit 345kV transmission infrastructure — constructed in the 1970s — into a new double-circuit 345kV transmission infrastructure. The line will connect the CPS Energy Spruce Station in Bexar County to the STEC Pawnee Station in Karnes County by crossing Wilson County; the approximately 46-mile project is estimated to cost 6 million. The new line, by adding another electric transmission pathway between generation resources and burgeoning population centers, should make the Texas electric grid stronger and more reliable, according to CPS Energy. Information about the proposal was presented at an open house in Floresville...Article Link

It can be hard to get people in a severe mental health crisis the treatment they need. Many times, the only option is the state psychiatric hospital. A bill moving through the Legislature could give communities a faster option closer to home.

Two state senators from the Bay Area are once again pitching a plan to help public transit from falling off of the fiscal cliff.

Cell antennas emit invisible wireless "smoke" that penetrates the body and causes harm. There is nothing you can do to escape it unless your local government properly regulates where cell towers can be installed.  Most governments are ill-equipped to understand what they have the right to do.   In this episode, we educate what needs to be done. Currently, Idaho is pushing House Bill H180, which only allows local governments 10 days to review applications. If they are unable to respond, the application is deemed approved. The Idaho Association of Cities, the Association of Counties, and Ada County are against this bill.  Idaho is in the crosshairs of the wireless industry's push to put these antennas everywhere. But should we?  What are the health Ramifications?  What harm is brought to Idaho's crops when the pollinators needed for our crops are gone? We spent 60-plus years arguing the health ramifications of Smoking in public places.  We finally banned smoking long after we knew that smoking caused harm. At least by smoking cigarettes, one can escape the pollution that causes you harm.  With Wireless Radiation, THERE IS NO ESCAPING THE HARMFUL EFFECTS!!The Idaho Broadband Task Force has federal money that it is using to connect high-speed broadband wired fiber optics to every community in Idaho. We are grateful for that. It's good for all of us to have hardwired fiber optics connecting us. We need to go a step further. If we could wire every home in America with Electricity in the 1930s, we can do the same with fiberoptic cable today. Now, Big Wireless wants to get in on the free money. Cell towers and small cell antennas are inferior ways to distribute broadband data. They are power hogs, harm you and our pollinators, and have poor security.   Telecommunications vs BroadbandSome known health ramifications are as follows: Over 18,000 studies have shown the cause of harm. These were submitted to the court in the 2021 DC Court of Appeals Decision that found against the FCC. Proven Health RisksIncreases AfibIncreases TinititusLack of sleepingGlioblastoma Brain cancerHeadaches and Brain FogTirednessRelated Shows:Dr. Martin Paul  Support the show Ready for your healing journey?Visit our website: www.LivingWatersCleanse.com Or give us a call at: (208) 378-9911Stem Cell Activation Patches:www.StemCellPatch.netGet your Supplements and Natural Body Products Here:www.livingwaterscleanse.com/supplementsQI-Shield EMF Devices:Protect your whole home or office with a touric shield from EMF's. 1.

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael dives into the engaging and enriching world of 4-H in Warren County. Joining Janet is Emily Schultz, the Associate Extension Agent for Warren County, who's been a pivotal figure in the 4-H community for the past year. Reflecting on her first year, Emily shared the whirlwind of activities and opportunities that have kept her busy. The last year saw the addition of five new 4-H clubs and the initiation of novel in-school programs, all aimed at offering more avenues for youth engagement. The ongoing renovation of their office hasn't slowed them down, as Emily continues her work from home. For those unfamiliar with 4-H, it's a community for young people to explore diverse interests. Warren County's 4-H boasts seven community clubs and one in-school club covering a range of activities from livestock to photography and crafts, breaking the stereotype that 4-H is solely about farming. Emily emphasizes the program's versatility - there's something for everyone, from public speaking to talent shows. Children can join 4-H as Cloverbuds at the age of five, participating in age-specific activities that are fun and educational. Older members, ages nine and up, can engage in more specialized clubs, including shooting sports and horse clubs. A big draw for many parents is the cost – membership in 4-H is free, making it accessible to everyone. The program thrives on the dedication of its volunteers. With a robust team of 60-70 volunteers in Warren County, many bringing unique skills, the support is invaluable. There's always room for more willing hands – anyone interested in volunteering can reach out to Emily to find out how to get involved. 4-H clubs meet regularly for various activities, including community service, guest speakers, and hands-on learning experiences. The program's flexibility allows it to cater to a wide range of interests, ensuring that all kids find their “spark.” Emily reassures that even those without livestock can participate fully through educational projects and competitions. One of the highlights of 4-H is the range of camps available, from day camps to overnight stays at the Northern Virginia 4-H Center in Warren County. These camps offer incredible opportunities for kids to gain independence, learn new skills, and enjoy the outdoors. Kids can select from a variety of classes, ranging from archery and canoeing to arts and crafts and outdoor living skills. Parents interested in signing up their kids for the overnight camp can do so easily via the county's website or by contacting the local 4-H office. Camp fees are $400, which covers all activities, meals, and a camp t-shirt. Scholarships are also available to ensure that all children have the chance to participate. The upcoming camp, taking place from June 8th to 12th, promises an enriching and exciting experience for all attendees. Warren County shares it's overnight camp with neighboring localities: Culpeper, Clarke, Shenandoah, and Rappahannock Counties. As the conversation wraps up, it's clear that Warren County's 4-H program offers invaluable experiences for children. From fostering independence and leadership skills at camps to providing a wide range of clubs for diverse interests, 4-H is a cornerstone of the community. Emily Schultz's passion and dedication shine through as she encourages parents to explore the opportunities available and get their children involved. For more information, reach out to the local 4-H office or visit their official website listed below. Let your child's 4-H adventure begin!

A legislative proposal to give all Nebraska counties the option to conduct elections entirely by mail was discussed Wednesday/this afternoon. Currently, only counties with populations under 10,000 can apply to the Secretary of State to mail ballots to all registered voters. In the last general election, 11 of the state's 67 eligible counties did just that. In most counties, voters must request an absentee ballot to vote by mail.

This is the full unedited audio of the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act (PRRIA)press conference on March 19. New York State Senator Pete Harckham and Assemblymember Deborah Glick are the lead sponsors. Environmental and civic groups that participated include American Lung Association, Beyond Plastics, Capitol District Zero Waste, Environmental Advocates NY, League of Women Voters, New York League dof Conservation Voters, New York State Association of Counties, NYPIRG and Protect the Adirondacks, Riverkeeper, Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter and Sisters of Charity. Dr. Kathy Nolan, a pediatrician active with Physicians for Social Responsibility, was a featured speaker. The bill (S.1464 / A.1749), which recently advanced in both the Senate and Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee, aims to significantly reduce packaging waste by requiring companies to reduce overall packaging use, improve recyclability, fund recycling infrastructure, support municipal recycling programs, and eliminate toxins in packaging materials. The legislation has broad approval from New Yorkers according to public polling. Solid waste, which has been rising steadily over the years, presents a serious challenge for New York's environment and the health of New Yorkers, as well as a burden on taxpayers. New York State's 25 municipal solid waste landfills could be full within the next 15 years, according to the NYS Solid Waste Management Plan. Incineration of waste creates air quality issues and increases greenhouse gas emissions. Further, municipalities bear the burden of collecting, sorting, and processing waste, driving up costs for taxpayers.

"It's a tragedy what's happening in Texas," Dr. Paul Carson said on this episode of Plain Talk, referring to that state's measels outbreak, which has already claimed the life of one child. Carson is a medical doctor and an emeritus professor of the public health faculty at North Dakota State University. I wrote recently about North Dakota's statewide kindergarten vaccination rates for well-established vaccines for things like measels and chickenpox are worse than in Texas. Dr. Carson said that means North Dakota is at risk "We have, as Rob alluded to in his article, we have counties in North Dakota that are significantly worse than the areas of Texas that we're talking about," he said. "It's often a matter of time before highly contagious viruses like measles get back into a community and circulate again." "Thankfully most of us are vaccinated, but we've got counties in North Dakota where 20, 25, 30% of the kindergarteners aren't vaccinated," he continued. "If it kind of gets into one of those schools, you'll see it spread and that often shuts down a school and may shut down an entire school for weeks." "It doesn't feel like we should be surprised if we see a news report that there's a measles case that pops up somewhere in North Dakota," he added. Also on this episode, Dakota Rudesill, a professor of law at Ohio State University and a former legislative assisstant on national security to Sen. Kent Conrad, answered questions about the tense situation between the United States, Ukraine, and Russia. Specifically, Rudesill spoke about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to, and subsequent ejection from, the White House. "One of the things that happened there is that the president and the vice president really wanted Zelenskyy to adopt some of their talking points and parrot those or at least not contest them," he said, "and Zalinsky wasn't willing to do that. And that is very much like the baseline now which has emerged for people in the Trump administration or people who want Trump's favor which is you have to endorse false things that he says." This extends, he argues, to people in Trump's orbit refusing to acknowledge something as verfiably true as Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "The nominees for the top jobs at the Department of Defense scrupulously will not acknowledge the fact that Russia invaded Ukraine," Rudesill said. "The closest we saw to that was the nominee for the under secretary of defense for policy. He said, you know, I understand from the president and vice president that words are very important and so I will not say anything to undermine the negotiations. He couldn't acknowledge the largest invasion since World War II even occurred."

But if you look every day, you'll find links to articles in national publications, all linked to give you more perspectives on some of the issues of our times.Second shout-out: Advertise on Information CharlottesvilleLong-time readers may know that most of the stories posted through this newsletter are also posted to Information Charlottesville.
