It’s barely June — about 11 months away from the May primaries — and just like the weather this week, election season is heating up early. As a House Ethics investigation meets the Republican race for Lt. Governor, Ada County home owners are hoping for a property tax reduction. Meanwhile, the state's coronavirus vaccination efforts continue but we're still far from President Biden's 70% goal. And: data discrepancies of COVID-19reporting in Idaho schools. We cover all those topics and more in this week's edition of the Idaho Matters Reporter Roundtable.

Our journalist panel today:

  • Heath Druzin of Boise State Public Radio
  • Margaret Carmel with BoiseDev
  • Joe Parris from KTVB-TV
  • Audrey Dutton with Idaho Capital Sun

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.
