2+ week, 5+ day ago (150+ words) Most of us take for granted that clean water will flow from the tap and that our wastewater will be handled appropriately. Idaho's water systems are facing challenges and needed investments for wastewater and drinking water infrastructure in Idaho add up to more than $1billion according to a recent study by the University of Idaho's McClure Center for Public Policy Research.

1+ week, 6+ day ago (660+ words) The Corporation for Public Broadcasting agreed Monday to fulfill a $36 million, multi-year contract with NPR that it had yanked after pressure from the Trump White House. The arrangement resolves litigation filed by NPR accusing the corporation of illegally yielding to Trump's demands that the network be financially punished for its news coverage. The argument, part of a broader lawsuit by NPR and several stations against the Trump administration, focused on CPB funding for NPR's operation of a satellite distribution system for local public radio stations. Over the course of the litigation this fall, mounting evidence appeared to demonstrate that CPB's board chair and executives had acted against NPR in what turned out to be a futile attempt to salvage the corporation's own future. In hearings last month in Washington, D.C., U.S. District Court Judge Randolph Moss told CPB's legal team they had…...

"I reached out to Treefort Music Hall, run by Duck Club, and they were so on board, it was like…...
