#idleg — Public Fediverse posts

ebt denied my getting a michelada Clamato. this is obviously because it has too much sugar according to #idleg but the effect of it does not help the perception that Idaho politicians are fundamentally anti-brown.

Governor Little just signed HB 822, which forces teachers and health care professionals to out trans youth, into law. This is yet another harmful attack on transgender young people in Idaho, and we condemn lawmakers for it. #IDLeg #IDPol

New resolution calls for worki...

I appreciate Idaho Reports, but the coverage of our Proposition 1 was a dog's breakfast. And then Brent Crane lecturing us that honesty and integrity are important, after he's told us the R- controlled #idleg will overturn the initiative if the people approve it?

He's a real piece of work.

@GottaLaff That "single subject" requirement is being heavily gamed in Idaho. The #idleg used an egg-laying woolly milk pig for a going-home expedient at the end of this session, and the R super-majority was all wink wink nudge nudgey. Now our AG is suing to stop a citizen initiative for open primaries with a cocked up claim it violates the rule.

A public library in a small #Idaho town announces it will become adults-only, cites Idaho Legislature's horrible library bill. #GOP #IDleg #library https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/donnelly-public-library-closure-children-idaho-legislatures-library-bill-accountable/277-2f88a4fb-2a4f-46a3-9fdb-99f2e0962b38?utm_source=BoiseDev-IdahoFirst&utm_campaign=357abc7876-%2A%7CRSSITEM%3ATITLE%7C%2A&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_a8fdfe4da5-357abc7876-563990524

Finally, one #idleg bill was a bridge too far for our governor. Vetoed S1314aa, to "Amend[] existing law to provide that idle moneys may be invested in physical gold and silver in certain instances, to provide for storage of physical gold and silver, and to provide for a maximum allowed investment. Veto letter:
https://legislature.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/sessioninfo/2024/legislation/S1314E1-VetoLtr.pdf

The Idaho VETO watch is in its final days of this #idleg session. Still nothing on the tab, with 40 bills showing "To Gov". Sent emails asking Gov to veto 3 particularly egregious bills, got a boilerplate reply dated Apr 9:

"My office generally does not comment on legislation that is going through the legislative process until it gets to my desk. I recommend you reach out to your state legislators to express your concerns to them"

Clumsy, to the point of rude.
https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2024/legislation/

Once again, high hopes that the #idleg would leave town are dashed. Sparked by Phil Hart, of all people, "pointing out that he is both a North Idaho resident and a former University of Utah student-athlete" but not mentioning he's also a convicted timber thief.

His was the lone "no" vote in a Senate resolution denouncing racism and hate speech. He complained he didn't have enough facts. (And of course he couldn't trust any of his fellow senators.)

Again our Legislators are wasting time and money on ridiculous proposals. Add to this are the topics of cannibalism, changing scientific names of fetuses, attacking libraries, repealing Medicaid expansion, allowing private militias, banning mask mandates, removing exceptions for rape, carry concealed weapons at schools as well as being immune from prosecution, and worst of all, subsidies for private schools. Did they forget our schools are literally crumbling? #idaholife #idpol #idleg

It's usually bad news when Idaho makes the nationals. As here, where the subject is legislative malpractice. #idleg #abortionrights

“We are seeing this pattern of preemption not just in the state of Texas, but across the country, with state governments that want to stifle localities from making their own decisions and be able to meet their constituents’ needs.”

Thanks to the Idaho Press coverage for highlighting the "Capitol Clarity" meeting in February, in which this #idleg session's most prolific bill writer, Blaine Conzatti, detailed the Idaho Family Policy Center's end-run attack on the 1st amendment, schools, and libraries.

This is the outrageous result of a GQP legislature in Idaho #idleg #idpol

I want to paint a canvas
the way the Idaho Capitol feels
something red and raw
not bright
but sharp
like a blade
meant for me, for us

The Idaho #GOP continues to drive doctors out of #Idaho in their quest to return us to the Dark Ages. Bonner General Health, the only hospital in Sandpoint, announced it will no longer provide obstetrical services to the city of more than 9,000 people, meaning patients will have to drive 46 miles to deliver babies. #IDleg https://idahocapitalsun.com/2023/03/17/citing-staffing-issues-and-political-climate-north-idaho-hospital-will-no-longer-deliver-babies/

Hearing Thursday 9 AM in Idaho House State Affairs on drag ban...

This proposed drag ban is based on lies locally about Boise & CDA Pride, but with origins on the hate site Infowars, popularized by the violent Proud Boys, and pushed by extremist lawmakers.

Not a surprise, thanks to the #GOP #IDleg. Idaho is one of the worst states to live in for women, new study shows.
