On The Thursday, July 19, 2018 Edition Of Idaho Matters:

  • A look at this November's vote on Medicaid expansion in Idaho.
  • BoiseDev.com covers Idaho business and Boise development.

- After Medicaid expansion failed to pass the Idaho legislature during the last session, the grassroots organization Reclaim Idaho gathered and submitted 56,192 signatures from Idahoans - enough to get the issue on the ballot as a voter initiative in the Novemeber election. We'll talk with state lawmakers about the possible passage of this expansion, how it may help the state's 62,000 uninsured residents and the wider impact on the state's economy.

- BoiseDev.com began as a Twitter feed in 2013 and quickly evolved into one of the top sources of business and development news in the region. Veteran TV newsman Don Day has been managing the site since its inception and he joins Thursday's Idaho Matters to talk business, media and the growing Gem State.
