The Idaho Legislature – The Pundits Take Aim

Wednesday, January 16, 2008
11:45 am – 1:15 pm
The Grove Hotel, Boise

Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman

Betsy Z. Russell, Spokane Spokesman-Review

Jim Weatherby, Political Analyst

New digs (the old Ada County Courthouse and Borah Post Office Building) will put the squeeze on legislators and the Otter administration this session and next. As they elbow each other for square footage, will they see eye to eye on issues like freezing the state property tax, adopting a means-tested grocery tax, charging higher vehicle registration fees for roads or rejuvenating the Connecting Idaho project?  

Join us on January 16 to hear and question our panel of political prognosticators: Betsy Z. Russell, reporter for the Spokane Spokesman-Review, Dan Popkey, columnist/reporter for the Idaho Statesman and Jim Weatherby, Boise State University emeritus professor of Public Policy and author of The Urban West: Managing Growth and Decline and Governing Idaho: Politics, People, and Power.

How will propinquity affect policy? See what the pundits have to say at this always sold-out forum. Make your reservation today!
