Here’s a link to the sixth week of Idaho’s legislative session in pictures, as a slide show. Let your cursor hover over the bottom part of the picture frame, and the captions will appear as the slide show plays. Tonight, on Idaho Public Television’s “Idaho Reports,” we’ll talk about the state budget, the governor's change of message on agency phase-outs, tax breaks, education reform and the PERSI COLA issue. Guests joining host Thanh Tan include Rep. Darrell Bolz, R-Caldwell; Sen. Nicole LeFavour, D-Boise; and Wayne Hammon, Gov. Butch Otter's budget director, who is pictured here, left, with Big Bird and IPTV General Manager Peter Morrill, right. I join commentators including Jim Weatherby, Kevin Richert and Brian Murphy on the program, which airs tonight at 8, is rebroadcast Sunday at 11 a.m. Mountain time/10 a.m. Pacific time, and can be viewed online here. The show also is broadcast on the radio at 3 p.m. on Saturday on KISU-FM, and 10 a.m. Sunday on KBSX 91.5 FM.
