    It's been four years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the virus continues to affect people in ways scientists are still trying to understand. That's because COVID is evolving at an incredibly rapid rate.

    Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Health System, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this.

    Over half of all the librarians in Idaho are thinking about quitting their jobs, according to a new survey that found 60% of respondents are considering leaving Idaho.

    Participants say that this is due to the fact that bills in the Idaho Legislature could restrict what books can and cannot be in an Idaho library. According to the Idaho Library Association, librarians feel hunted by the legislature and are planning to leave their jobs if newly proposed bills become law.

    Mia Maldonado is a reporter with the Idaho Capitol Sun, and she took a deep dive into the study.

    The Idaho Legislature is planning to once again tackle the issue of school choice during this year’s session.

    Lawmakers have tried over the past several years to put some kind of program in place that would let parents choose where their kids go to school using everything from vouchers, to education savings accounts, but none of those past proposals have become law.

    We want to take a deep dive into school choice, and we’re planning a series of conversations about how this would affect kids and parents, public and private schools, charter and religious schools, taxpayers and educators.

    School choice is a big issue, and we’re just starting to scratch the surface, so we asked Kevin Richert, senior reporter and blogger with Idaho Education News, for an overview.

    Everyone’s talking about the economy. Will Idaho's unemployment rate keep going up? Will we see a recession? If interest rates flatten out, how will that affect Idaho's crazy housing market? Will an election year make a difference to Idaho's economic situation?

    Last June, we got an update on Idaho's economy from Jason Norris. He’s the principal of research and portfolio management at Ferguson Wellman, and he was born and raised in Boise, so he knows all about the Gem State and how our economy works. Idaho Matters wanted to check in with him again and get a roadmap for 2024.

    A beloved member of Zoo Boise has been diagnosed with cancer, and everyone at the zoo has been working to help her.

    Kabita is a 14-year-old snow leopard who has been at the zoo since 2011. Once zookeepers realized something was wrong, doctors found a tumor in the big cat’s mouth, and sadly, the cancer has spread to her bones.

    A large team at the zoo is working to make her more comfortable using all the tools in their toolbox, including very advanced veterinary medicine.

    Doug Holloway, Boise Parks and Recreation Director, and Zoo Boise veterinarian Dr. Melissa Cavaretta joined Idaho Matters to talk more about how Kabita is doing and tell us how the latest technology is being used to treat animals in their care.

    The Great Salt Lake in Utah is often compared to a lake in Central Asia: the Aral Sea. Back in the 80s, the Aral Sea dried up so much it caused toxic dust storms - a problem Utah also faces. But the Aral Sea offers a potential solution for how to save a shrinking lake.

    Reporter Levi Bridges visited Kazakhstan for KUER and the Great Salt Lake Collaborative. He has this report for the Mountain West News Bureau.

    The issue of public encampments makes its way to the Supreme Court Jan 29, 2024

    The U.S. Supreme Court is going to take up the issue of camping in public places five years after a Boise case put limits on what cities can do to stop people experiencing homelessness from sleeping outside.

    The decision in the Martin v. Boise case has been cited by many cities, who say homeless encampments have been growing due in part to a lack of affordable housing.

    Now a new case that comes from Grants Pass, Oregon, has both cities hoping to curb camping, and homeless advocates who say people have nowhere else to go are turning their focus to the Supreme Court, which will take up the case later this year.

    Rachel Spacek is a reporter for the Idaho Statesman, and she took a deep dive into this story and what a Supreme Court decision could mean for Boise's homeless population.
