This week on the Idaho Matters Reporter Roundtable: Idaho braces for imminent crisis standards of care declarations as hospitals fill up with COVID-19 patients — all while the debate over masks in schools extends into the new academic year. And Idaho Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin has been fined $750 for violations of the Idaho Public Records Act, after wrongly denying several journalist's public information requests.

Plus: new restaurants opening amid the chaos and some big news for one Boise startup. All that and more on today's show.

Our panel today:

Hi! I’m Gemma Gaudette, the host of the award-winning show, Idaho Matters. During the day you’ll find me researching and writing about all the fascinating topics we tackle on our show. And of course, at noon, each weekday you’ll find me live behind the microphone as Idaho Matters airs.
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.
