episode Idaho Legislature vs. Sheriffs: Budget Crisis in Rural Idaho cover

Description

Bob Neugebauer and Dylan Stocker tear into Idaho's legislature as session wraps, exposing a stark budget imbalance: a $14.2 billion state budget versus $800 million for all 44 counties combined. Stocker reveals sheriffs have been blocked from the statehouse for years, unfunded mandates are piling on, rural EMS runs on fumes, and House Bill 659 attempts to conscript sheriffs into ICE enforcement with zero additional funding. The state is hoarding revenue while property taxpayers foot the bill.
