NO ID Episode 13 - Cartel Carousel
Coeur d'Alene's downtown cartel keeps its revolving door spinning as former Post Falls Mayor Ron Jacobson lands a new gig, while a Democrat Senate hopeful promises to unite Idaho through the magical power of collectivism. Meanwhile, Washington's budget problems are apparently caused by insufficient taxation, North Idaho hosts another anti-ICE protest, and a local physician boots-on-the-ground report explains why direct primary care might be preferable to the insurance-industrial complex. Plus, Idaho's Supreme Court considers whether parents should be allowed to keep some of their own money for their children's education, revisiting the end of airline mask mandates, and the state protects motorists from the existential threat of naughty vanity plates. The cartel carousel keeps spinnin' right 'round, and the taxpayers keep buying tickets.
