NO ID Episode 15 - Disrupting Funerals
Executive Producers:
Sir Spook of Spokane
Kris with a K
Post Falls attempts the unthinkable: Eliminating a tax..?? ...Only to discover that Idaho's tax collectors have developed a sentimental attachment to it. Meanwhile, Kootenai County home prices climb, the media campaigns for more contractor licensing to protect helpless homeowners from making adult decisions, and the revolutionary concept of allowing people to conduct business without first securing bureaucratic permission. The public health establishment declares raw milk a menace (again), the teachers' union makes its priorities abundantly clear, and Idaho lawmakers contemplate new ways to regulate private associations. Plus, North Idaho College's miraculous recovery from its supposed existential crisis, and the Kootenai County Jail's latest efforts to keep the contraband out. No matter what the problem is, the answer is always more gubmint. Except when it comes to taxing your garbage. Then the answer is also more gubmint.
