That amendment seems likely to come back next year. The GOP is also embracing a plan that would simply add more lawmakers to the state legislature.

-In January, the Valley Regional Transit Late Night Program started up in Boise. It lets qualified riders get a low-cost Lyft ride to to work and training after the buses stop running. VRT calls the program "incredibly beneficial," so much so that it's expanding the program into Nampa.
-The Idaho Office of School Safety was created by the Idaho Legislature in 2016. Its mission is to help public schools create safer learning environments. Theoffice assesses each school campus for threats and vulnerabilities and offers mitigation strategies. Idaho Matters finds out about a new video that deals with school safety issues.
