Calling it a public health hazard, Governor Brad Little filed a lawsuit Tuesday over a tent encampment next to the Idaho Statehouse.

The cluster of tents and protesters gathered on the lawn of the Idaho Capitol Annex in January to protest rising home and rental prices.

Joining Idaho Matters to talk about the protest, and the lawsuit, is Boise State Public Radio reporter James Dawson.
