On tonight's "Idaho Reports," I join BSU political scientist emeritus Jim Weatherby, AP reporter Jessie Bonner and host Greg Hahn to discuss the events of this first week of the Legislature, from school funding to ethics; the hour-long program also features Hahn's interview with three lawmakers, Reps. Ken Roberts and Grant Burgoyne and Sen. Tim Corder, about possible tax cuts; a discussion of Gov. Butch Otter's "IGEM" proposal with Idaho Statesman reporter Bill Roberts; IPTV reporter Aaron Kunz's analysis of the lack of mention of environmental issues in this year's State of the State speech; and more.

The show airs tonight at 8 p.m. on Idaho Public Television; it repeats Sunday at 11 a.m. Mountain time, 10 a.m. Pacific; and will be replayed on Boise State Public Radio on Sunday at 6 p.m. After it airs, "Idaho Reports" also can be viewed online at www.idahoptv.org/idreports/.
