The week that was…

It’s a pundit-o-rama on “Idaho Reports” tonight, as nearly half the hour-long show is devoted to a discussion in which I join Jim Weatherby, Dan Popkey, Corey Taule and host Greg Hahn to chew over the events of the week, from “Add The Words” to Bill Sali to politics, the budget, and lawmaker pension-spiking; Taule joins the discussion from the IPTV studio in Pocatello. The program also includes Hahn’s interviews with state parks chief Nancy Merrill; and with “8 in 6” plan advocate Rep. Steven Thayn, R-Emmett, and his 17-year-old daughter Carli. The show airs tonight at 8 p.m. on Idaho Public Television; it repeats Sunday at 11 a.m. Mountain time, 10 a.m. Pacific; and will be replayed on Boise State Public Radio on Sunday at 6 p.m. After it airs, “Idaho Reports” also can be viewed online at www.idahoptv.org/idreports/ .
