Tonight’s “Idaho Reports” looks at the eighth week of this year’s legislative session, including an overview of the week’s developments; comments House Speaker Scott Bedke and Senate President Pro-Tem Brent Hill made to reporters at their annual address to the Idaho Press Club; co-host Melissa Davlin’s interview with Rep. Neil Anderson, R-Blackfoot, about legislation from an interim committee he co-chairs about reforming the state’s purchasing practices; and a report on what prominent Idaho Republicans say about Donald Trump as a possible GOP presidential nominee.

Kevin Richert of Idaho Education News joins the pundits panel, along with myself, Jim Weatherby, co-host Aaron Kunz and Davlin, to discuss school funding, the state’s latest court loss over the defunct Idaho Education Network, election legislation, local control and the upcoming primary election. The show airs at 8:30 tonight, a half-hour later than usual due to Festival programming; after it airs, you can watch it here online any time. It also re-airs Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Mountain time, 9:30 Pacific.
