    Vehicle emission testing ends in the Treasure Valley Jun 27, 2023

    Since the 1980s, most people who did not own a brand new car had to stop off every year at a car emission station, pay a fee and make sure their car passed a test.

    These tests were designed to lower the amount of pollutants coming out of your car’s tailpipe. The tests came after the Treasure Valley’s air quality dropped below federal standards.

    Now, the emission tests are going away and we wanted to find out why. So we asked Ian Max Stevenson, who covers the city of Boise and climate change for the Idaho Statesman.

    The University of Idaho's plan to purchase the for-profit University of Phoenix has been the focus of much criticism, especially from lawmakers and others who feel the process was rushed and too much of the planning went on behind closed doors.

    Since U of I president Scott Green got the green light from the Idaho Board of Education to sign off on the deal, he has been answering questions about the purchase and reassuring critics that Phoenix was a good buy.

    But the criticism and the pressure on the U of I ramped up dramatically last week when Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador filed a lawsuit that said the Board of Education broke Idaho's open meeting law and asked a court to throw out the board’s vote for the deal.

    Kevin Richert, senior reporter and blogger with Idaho Education News, joined Idaho Matters to help break this all down.

    In Madison County, over 28 percent of adults live below the poverty level, in Ada County, more than 23 percent of adults have arthritis and in Washington County, ten percent of adults have been diagnosed with cancer.

    These are just some of the new health statistics that anyone can see thanks to a new tool from the University of Idaho that breaks down health data by the county level for the first time in Idaho. Erich Seamon, a research scientist at the U of I, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this data.

    Two years ago, the Pacific Northwest experienced a record-breaking heat wave

    The extreme temperatures resulted in hundreds of fatalities and in Oregon's Multnomah County, 69 people died due to the heat.

    As a result, Multomah County filed a lawsuit against several fossil fuel companies, like Shell and Chevron, and coal-producing corporations, saying that their products played a significant role in generating the heat dome and further intensifying it.

    Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    Real estate prices in Ketchum skyrocketed during the pandemic. Now the community is trying to stop the bleed of local workers being priced out.

    One thing it's trying? Luring property owners with cash incentives if they start renting to locals.

    Animal agriculture produces more methane than any other human activity in the United States. Climate experts say we need to cut those down now, but the science on livestock emissions is just emerging so it's not clear how to do that.

    KUNC's Rae Solomon reports for the Mountain West News Bureau on a group of researchers looking for answers.
