Here's a news item from the Associated Press: BOISE, Idaho (AP) ― Some Idaho lawmakers want to bid adieu to "Occupy Boise," whose campers erected tents on state-managed land surrounding the old Ada County Courthouse starting in November to protest social and economic inequality. On Monday, House Assistant Majority Leader Scott Bedke said a bill to forbid camping on the Capitol Mall and nearby state property could be up for consideration as soon as Wednesday. Bedke says it's modeled after a Boise ordinance outlawing camping on city property, adding that the right place for people to exercise free speech is on the Capitol steps, not a permanent tent city on taxpayer-owned land. Even so, Occupy Boise's police liaison Dean Gunderson fears Bedke's proposal is designed to quell his movement's right to speak its mind, something protected by the U.S. and Idaho constitutions.
