Idaho politicians are deeply concerned that medical marijuana might violate the state's values, apparently forgetting that liberty used to be one of them. We take on the latest cannabis ballot initiative, Governor Brad Little's taxpayer-funded economic development schemes, and the classic habit of calling government coercion a "public service". Then it's back to Lakeland School District, where pandemic-era memories collide with the latest education controversy. Throw in government gambling prosecutions, COVID lockdown revisionism, public-sector salaries, and a few taxpayer-funded recreational ambitions, and you've got another week of North Idaho's mainstream narratives getting thoroughly deconstructed.
