Three Hospitalized in Crash with Semi-truck South of Bellevue
BELLEVUE, Idaho (KLIX)-Three were sent to the hospital when the driver of an SUV failed to yield to an oncoming semi-truck on Idaho Highway 75 south of Bellevue Thursday.
According to the Blaine County Sheriff s Office, on May 18, emergency crews were called out at around 2:30 p.m. for a two-vehicle crash involving a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a semi-truck pulling two trailers at the intersection of U.S. Highway 20 and Idaho Highway 75, Timmerman Junction. The sheriff s office said 63-year-old Bomi Kang of Van Nuys, California had been headed east on U.S. 20 and failed to yield to the truck headed north on Idaho 75 and was hit.
Bundy’s approach at Malheur five years ago was quite tame compared to what we’ve seen from Antifa and Black Lives Matter. He’s not torched any police stations.
DEFCON 1: Idaho Property Tax Crisis Explodes
There’s a possibility Idaho legislators could be going back to work this summer. Not for the reason some expected. When the House of Representatives recessed instead of adjourning, it allowed the House to come back and work distribution of relief money from the federal government. If needed. The Senate adjourned, but if House is back in session, the Senate will need to return within a couple of days.
Many would otherwise be kicked out of their homes. Now as many as four thousand face that possibility.
I’ll make a prediction. Both chambers are coming back before Labor Day but to work on a much more pressing issue. Property taxes. Specifically to address the fallout from HB 389, a bill passed late in session. There are some sudden warning alarms going off over some unexpected consequences.
Will Tourists Return to Idaho Where Masks Were Required?
More evidence the COVID-19 outbreak was more about virtue signaling than science. Mask mandates in Idaho’s few blue islands are dropping like a BASE jumper off the Perrine Bridge. Boise Dev has a piece about the summer tourism outlook. Places such as Blaine County and Boise, long holdouts on local mask mandates, want to get back in the tourism game.
Meanwhile, parks around Idaho were packed. Places where people could go and breathe clean air without obstruction.
Note: Last summer a local politician told me he went to Ketchum and walked around without a mask. No one scolded him. I should mention he’s a big man and skilled in combat! Meanwhile, all around him were people with the lower portions of faces covered. These mandates obviously kept some people away. It’s why a trip I was planning to neighboring Utah 15 months ago is still on hold. I didn’t want to be bothered by restrictions on my person
Over the last several years there have been counties in Oregon that are trying to join Idaho. As of right now there are 5 counties that want to leave Oregon and become part of Idaho, creating Greater Idaho. Would you support it?
