Legislators get civility training

Idaho legislators are undergoing civil discourse training today, working with the National Institute for Civil Discourse at the University of Arizona. The institute has worked with 12 other states, but Idaho is the first to schedule a Legislature-wide training session backed by leadership; Maine is soon to be the second. All but five lawmakers turned out for today’s session, filling the legislative dining room to capacity for the opening luncheon; the program, which includes much work in small groups, will run all afternoon/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.
