Rep. Mike Moyle is one of the longest standing representatives in the state of Idaho and sponsored House Bill 389, which is a bill aimed at curbing the increases in property tax residents were experiencing as cities and areas grew. Property tax in Idaho has no limit to growth, so HB 389 worked to restrict the amount cities could increase their budget that is drawn from property tax. Some cities are claiming there are issues with this, and some are managing fine. Rep. Moyle came in to explain what HB 389 is, how taxes are determined, and where he sees the issues in Idaho.

Zach Hanson is an American hunter, trapper, and author. His recent book, Turning Feral, chronicles his transition from a commuting tech guy with a failing marriage and vacant days to a family leader in the woods of Idaho who eats what he catches and kills. Although he did not grow up engaged in this deeply primal and enriching life, he was able to find his way into the skills and lifestyle that he now so deeply cherishes. He definitely reminds me that there’s hope yet for people who want to bring life back to the basics.
