    The Quality Education Act will be on the Nov. 8 ballot and it will likely appear as Proposition 1.

    Organizers from the nonprofit group, Reclaim Idaho, successfully qualified the initiative to appear before voters in November.

    Now, there’s questions over whether or not the education funding ballot initiative could have unintended consequences, that being reversing the Idaho Legislature’s 2022 tax cuts. According to state officials, this could increase taxes for low income families.

    Reclaim Idaho Founder Luke Mayville joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the issue.

    A new hope for declining salmon populations Aug 08, 2022

    “Nothing has ever worked.” That quote comes from writer Rocky Barker, who says all the attempts to reverse the decline of Snake River salmon in Idaho, Oregon and Washington have failed.

    That includes everything from fish ladders to putting salmon in trucks and driving them past the dams that keep them from reaching their spawning grounds.

    Now though, Barker says there are hopeful signs that the fish might begin to recover. For 35 years he’s reported on salmon, and even though he’s retired from the Idaho Statesman, he’s still writing about the fish. Rocky Barker joined Idaho Matters to talk about his newest article Will Salmon Finally Win This Year?, which is out now.

    Lake Powell is the nation’s second-largest reservoir but climate change and overuse have dropped the water level to a record low, leaving the water supply uncertain for tens of millions in the southwest.

    KUNC’s Luke Runyon took a boat trip to report on the changing landscape for the Mountain West News Bureau as part of his ongoing coverage of the Colorado river, produced by KUNC and supported by the Walton Family Foundation.

    KUNC reporter Alex Hager took even more amazing pictures from his trip.

    Wednesday, Idaho Supreme Court Justice Robyn Brody called two of Idaho's abortion laws "a bit of a maze," which is turning out to be a bit of an understatement.

    Brody and the other justices were listening to oral arguments in two lawsuits by Planned Parenthood challenging the state's abortion laws. These arguments included Idaho's trigger law, which will ban most abortions in Idaho when it kicks in later this month.

    Boise State Public Radio Reporter James Dawson was watching those arguments and joined Idaho Matters to tell us more about what happened.

    Earlier this week, Idaho Matters reported that Idaho was being sued by the Justice Department over its abortion law. This is the first major legal action the federal government has taken against a state over abortion laws following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in June that overturned Roe v. Wade.

    In the lawsuit, Attorney General Merrick Garland says Idaho's 2020 abortion law would violate a federal law that applies to hospitals that receive Medicare funding.

    Shaakirrah Sanders, a professor at the University of Idaho and visiting professor at Penn State Dickenson Law, and Boise State Public Radio Reporter James Dawson joined Idaho Matters to break down the federal lawsuit against Idaho's abortion law.
