Idaho’s high court decries campaign claims
The contested race for an Idaho Supreme Court seat has heated up, with the court itself now issuing statements disputing claims from the challenger, Lewiston Judge John Bradbury.

Lowest number of bills introduced; 359 passed
BOISE – Now that it’s all said and done, here are the numbers on this year’s Idaho legislative session: In 78 days, there were 816 pieces of legislation drafted, 620 of which were introduced, and 359 passed. Every one of those became law; there were no vetoes, though Gov. Butch Otter withheld his signature from five of them, he still allowed them to become law. Compared to past sessions, this year set records for the lowest number of bills drafted and introduced in the past decade – perhaps in part because legislative leaders warned in advance that anything that cost money likely wouldn’t be considered – but, oddly, the number that became law is actually higher than last year’s figure of 344.
