NO ID Episode 46 - Bathroom Encounter
Another week, another tour through Idaho's ever-expanding machinery of public spending, from Post Falls snowplows and Shoshone County staffing shortages to Idaho's overflowing tax collections and the collapse of the Idaho Statesman newsroom. Along the way: Measles is AIDS, public schools aren't getting enough, generational wealth, the eternal political carousel, and an Idaho homeschool family's attempt to sell popcorn...right up until code enforcement gets involved. Plus, a brief glimpse into the future of NO ID and a possible new show.
