Marty: Boise-centricity Rules Idaho
Here's the unshakable logic: Treasure Valley sees the world through one lens. We see it through another. Boise has urban transit. We have megaloads. In Boise, it's possible to confuse Twin Falls with Idaho Falls. Really. It happens. Boise has the state capital. A century and a half later, the former territorial capital of Lewiston still seethes with anger about that. Boise has Hewlett-Packard and Micron Technology. Grangeville has a stop light. Boise got the connector and rush-hour traffic. Moscow has some passing lanes on U.S. Highway 95. Boise goes nuts over its Boise State University Broncos football squad. Pocatello? Not so much/Marty Trillhaase, Lewiston Tribune. More here.
Question: Should we simply include all of Boise and some suburbs into one legislative district and the rest of Idaho into another?
