New Developments On Medicaid Expansion And Citizen Initiative Bills Slow Down Idaho Legislature

The Idaho Legislature has been wrestling with two big bills this week. There were significant developments on both the Medicaid Expansion bill and the bill that would change the requirements for passing a citizen initiative.

Those two bills have slowed things down at the Statehouse. Boise State Political Science Professor Gary Moncrief tells Samantha Wright lawmakers should have gone home by now.

Gary and Samantha have a podcast called “Legislative Breakdown.” We pick apart the Idaho Legislature to find out how it affects YOU.

Find “Legislative Breakdown” in the NPR One app.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life!). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
