Idaho Prop 1, Lobbyist Access & the New Pork Report
This episode runs the Idaho fights shaping the stretch before Election Day: Prop 1's bid to undo the state's abortion trigger law and the out-of-state money pouring into that campaign, access politics at the Statehouse and the lobbyists buying it, and a new pork report cataloging billions in waste, fraud, and abuse — from $72 million to teach teachers to teach reading to hundreds of millions in state spending left unmonitored. It closes with an econ lesson on what prices signal and what breaks when government caps them.
