The week that was…

What a week this was! On tonight’s “Idaho Reports” on Idaho Public TV, I join host Greg Hahn, Jim Weatherby, and Kevin Richert to discuss the events of the week, which was marked by a huge outpouring of public input to lawmakers on everything from education reform to health care nullification. The opening scene of tonight’s show: The now-famous gavel-banging at the education hearing this week that was so strong that it sent the gavel’s base flying.

Greg also interviews Senate Education Committee members Russ Fulcher, R-Meridian, and Nicole LeFavour, D-Boise, about this week’s education hearings and what they’re hearing from the public on school reform. The show airs tonight at 8 p.m., then re-airs Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Mountain time, 9:30 a.m. Pacific; it also can be seen online at www.idahoptv.org , along with continued discussion on a “Web Extra” segment.
