Idaho Lawmakers Address Private Home Picketing
I know that after a really intense 2020 and a full blown election cycle, we re all tired.and I mean TIRED of politics. A bipartisan discussion happening right here in Idaho at the State Capitol, however, came as a breath of fresh air this afternoon and I wanted to share this.
Leading up to the November election, as I am sure you remember, the climate here in the Treasure Valley was less than ideal. Activists were getting LOUD be it about COVID, the national election, and more. One story called for some major reactions across the political spectrum, however.

I ve been to East Lansing several times.
My barber is in Downtown East Lansing.
I go shopping in East Lansing a lot.
I m African American. And I ve never been pulled over in East Lansing.
Am I lucky? Was it my car? Was it because I m there mostly during the day?
Or is it just a matter of time?
And even though I haven t been pulled over, news like this bothers me and makes me think.
Data from the East Lansing Police Department showed African-American residents in East Lansing were almost three times more likely to be pulled over by police than Caucasians. (WLNS)
