Governor Brad Little took a moment to answer some local questions while he was in town for That Famous Preston Night Rodeo on July 29.
He was presented with questions about the new rise in Covid cases, the drought and representation of rural counties.
Gov. Little was adamant that the state of Idaho would not shut down for COVID again. He based that premise on the fact that the medical community better knows how to handle the virus now than at the beginning of the pandemic, and the fact that hospitals are better prepared with personal protection equipment.
