Saving Idaho and Her Water with Kevin Cook

Kevin Cook is an Idaho State Senator and working tirelessly to address Idaho’s water storage needs. Water originating in and flowing through Idaho is incredibly limited and precious, fueling our agricultural sector, water lawns and faucets for development, generating power for the western power grid, and then moves on through other western states to do the same on its way to the Pacific. Kevin is working to encourage the federal government to come to the table and support development of water storage infrastructure so we can stretch this precious resource as far as possible.

Jason Monks is an Idaho State Representative and kindly came in to discuss the School Choice Tax Credit and requirements for receiving it.

The Crowfoot Range & Eagle with Bill Godfrey

Bill Godfrey is a board member of the Crowfoot Range, a shooting range going into the Avimor development. The range has attracted much attention because the city of Eagle is considering making a donation to the non-profit to support its development. In return, Eagle residents would get discounted utilization of the range. This is in sharp contrast to an additional option for the city of Eagle, specifically finding roughly four million dollars to finish its own range. There is a lot to understand and I greatly appreciate Bill coming on to explain it.
