Better Idaho

Idaho State of the State Address pscp.tv/w/cOOJhjIxMDky…

Our Blueprint for Smart Justice Statehouse Release press event is TOMORROW. The Blueprint is meant to provide solutions to cut incarceration rates, reduce racial disparities, and focus on Idahoans, not prisons. #idleg #idpol #PeopleNotPrisonsID Join us: acluidaho.org/en/events/blue…

Horrifying.

More details on Parker's stalking arrest, including allegedly hiding in bushes and wearing a wig. #IDpol idahostatesman.com/news/politics-…

Wow. As @BetsyZRussell points out, the Idaho Senate GOP is making claims that directly contradict the public record. Most shockingly, they flat-out deny the publicly documented fact that a lobbyist for Moneytree helped draft Senate Bill 1159. #idpol #idleg

From Idaho Press: "However, Senate President Pro-Tem Brent Hill confirmed that no such working group was ever appointed or funded...'It was just some senators and legislators getting together and talking. I didn’t know about it ‘til I saw the product.'" tinyurl.com/8yn7sw

Eye on Boise: GOP statement claims SB 1159 was product of a 'House-Senate working group,' but Sen. Hill says no such group was ever appointed... bit.ly/2UNOJnQ #idleg #idpol

Instead of listening to testimony, Rep. Zollinger is out in the hall with Freedom Foundation lobbyists & lobbyists paid by a Florida company. #idleg #idpol #MedicaidExpansion

We don’t.

SB 1159 moved to the top of the agenda in Senate State Affairs. Committee set to begin discussion #idleg #idpol

Multiple lines have formed as Idahoans prepare to oppose barriers to Medicaid Expansion and defend democracy at the same time. #idleg #idpol

Here we go again! The Senate State Affairs Committee has scheduled a vote on SB1159 TOMORROW at 8AM. We need as many people as possible to pack the hearing room so committee members can see the faces of the Idahoans they're trying to silence. Will you join us? #idleg #idpol

It’s hard to stomach the fact that payday loan predators like Moneytree are working to kill Idaho’s ballot-initiative process, and that Idaho legislators are helping them do it. #idleg #idpol m.dailykos.com/stories/2019/3…?

The people of Idaho have spoken!

From an @acluidaho perspective, SB 1159 is unconstitutional & violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, specifically the “one person, one vote” provision. Moving this bill forward is only inviting litigation against the state at taxpayer expense #Idleg #idpol

omg @ us next time!!! p.s. thanks for using our new logo xoxo

"Better Idaho," part of the national dark-money "Democracy Alliance," is working with Idaho Democrats & other groups to undermine the votes of rural Idahoans in the initiative process and all Idahoans in presidential elections. #idpol #idleg
