Shocking but not surprising: A public records request has revealed that over 1,000 Idahoans emailed the House Rev & Tax committee about HB 93--Wendy Horman's school-voucher bill.

94% of the emails opposed the bill while just 6% were in favor.

An underappreciated danger in school voucher schemes is families may take on new debt—to private schools or other vendors—beyond what vouchers cover.

Testimony AGAINST Medicaid Expansion repeal outnumbered testimony in favor by a margin of 25 to 1. The committee still approved the repeal bill 8-7.

The swing vote was cast by Rep. Tanya Burgoyne, whose Pocatello district approved Medicaid Expansion with 64% of the vote. Who does she represent?
This is the overflow room for today’s hearing on Medicaid Expansion repeal (House Bill 138). The main room is jam-packed. Idahoans want their healthcare protected, not taken away.
