Idaho is moving ahead with plans for a fourth veterans’ home in North Idaho, but it likely will be seven to 10 years before it gets the funding approval from the Veterans Administration. “The current population right now of veterans in North Idaho is worthy of supporting a veterans home,” said Idaho Division of Veterans Services Director Col. David Brasuell, who presented his budget pitch to state lawmakers this morning. The state already has been offered 6.1 acres of donated land by the Jacklin family, Brasuell said, though that’s the “bare minimum” needed for a veterans home; he’d like to acquire some additional ground if possible/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise.
