“Nothing Happens Until People Start Talking”

The Idaho Legislature – The Pundits Take Aim

Thursday, January 18, 2007
11:45 am – 1:15 pm, The Grove Hotel, Boise

Speakers:
Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman
Betsy Z. Russell, Spokane Spokesman-Review
John Miller, Associated Press

Take a new Governor and a Lt. Governor who was Governor, mix in a new Speaker of the House, add a bushel of new committee leaders and a dash of feisty new Democrats, stir in some contentious issues – community college expansion, the sales tax on groceries – and you have a slow-food ragout: the 2007 session of the Idaho Legislature.

If you’re having trouble keeping track of the ingredients, not to mention the issues, City Club’s annual forum featuring some of Idaho’s most informed observers of the legislature is just what you need to begin the New Year.

Join us on January 18 to hear and question our panel of political prognosticators: Betsy Z. Russell, reporter for the Spokane Spokesman-Review, Chris Smith, correspondent for the Associated Press, and Dan Popkey, columnist for the Idaho Statesman.

We’ll serve up a tasty early-in-the-season spread of politics, policy and personalities. Don’t miss it.
