Idaho Wolves on the Decline | Boise News

Idaho’s wolf population has dropped to an estimated 1,129 this year — a decline of 106 from last year — as state officials intentionally push numbers down through expanded hunting and trapping seasons. Once wiped out in the 1930s and reintroduced in the 1990s, wolves are now being managed post-endangered status (2011), with officials also noting fewer livestock attacks. Their ultimate goal? Shrinking the population to around 500. They’ve even switched from trail cameras to genetic data from harvested wolves for more accurate counts.

Idaho’s Ride to Health at Risk | Boise News

When Idaho’s Rides2Wellness program hit a breaking point—capping rides due to funding collapse—it exposed a deeper crisis: the state’s refusal to fund public transit. For patients like Ann Kirkwood, who depends on the service to get to life-saving appointments, the cuts were devastating. With insurance dropping transportation benefits and hospitals footing part of the bill, demand soared and budgets buckled. Valley Regional Transit, already strained without state support, scrambled for help—healthcare systems stepped in with $77,500 to cover the year, but the real fix? Lobbying for the power to tax. In a state obsessed with cutting taxes, that’s a tough sell. The future of vital health access hangs in the balance.

AMT vs Micron Over AI Chip Patents | Boise News

A high-stakes patent battle is heating up as Advanced Memory Technologies sues Micron, claiming infringement of five critical patents that power AI chips across phones and data centers. AMT seeks lost profits, royalties, and triple damages—and even an injunction that could halt Micron’s top memory modules. Micron denies all claims, asserting its right to use the tech, while AMT, a non-practicing entity that profits from licensing and lawsuits, aims to leverage this case for maximum impact. The trial has moved to Idaho, and Micron may challenge the patents’ validity—though their origin at Panasonic could complicate things. AMT is also targeting SK Hynix, making this a pivotal showdown in the trillion-dollar chip industry, with potential global ramifications if the International Trade Commission gets involved.

Measles Resurgence Hits 44 States | Boise News

Measles is roaring back with over 2,000 confirmed cases this year—more than all of last year and the worst since 2000. Ninety-three percent of cases involve unvaccinated kids under 20, with hotspots in South Carolina and Utah. States like Virginia still have high overall rates, but rural areas lag dangerously behind. Some places, like Oklahoma, are seeing fewer cases thanks to mobile vaccination efforts, while Delaware just declared a new outbreak. Experts warn the U.S. could lose its “elimination” status later this year if vaccination gaps aren’t closed—proof that even small drops in coverage can let this virus surge again.
