    In anticipation of the winter weather, Nampa's Street Division is preparing its fleet of snowplows to help keep the roads safe.
    Which tends to be a bit more fun when the snowplows have names, so for the second year in a row, the city's elementary students are holding a contest to name the snowplows.

    Amanda Shaw, a second-grade teacher at Reagan Elementary and Trenton Bothwell, a heavy equipment operator with the Street Division Nampa school district, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this contest.

    The latest on the fate of the lower Snake River dams Dec 14, 2023

    Since the online news site Clearing Up reported two weeks ago on a leaked Biden administration plan to remove the four lower Snake River dams, a lot has happened.
    The leak took a peak at a proposed agreement from the federal government that would spend billions of dollars to replace the energy the dams currently generate plus spend more money to help save salmon in the Columbia Basin.

    Since that leak, Idaho asked a court to decide if the courts could order the breaching of the dams as part of the Endangered Species Act. A house committee held an oversight hearing on the plan, and Thursday morning, Clearing Up reported the 30-year fight over salmon and dams may be done after a "negotiative session" where a final agreement was reached.

    This all came before a Friday deadline to find a solution to the questions of dams, fish and energy.

    Longtime environmental reporter Rocky Barker has been following this story, and he joined Idaho Matters for an update.

    Tourism is big business in Idaho, but quantifying just how big that business is can be tricky.

    A new study said one piece of the tourism industry, the outfitters and guides industry, brought $600 million to Idaho last year, created over 4,900 jobs and brought in $50 million in taxes.

    University of Idaho economics professor Steve Peterson and economics major Jimmy Bulger joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.
