Season 49 Episode 10: To Debate the Bill

Health care and education are the two biggest drivers of the budget in the state, and neither is without their share of policy proposals. This week, Layne McInelly, president of the Idaho Education Association, shares his take on the public education budget and a proposal to let school districts and public charters create their own teaching certificates to address teacher shortages. Then, House Health and Welfare Committee Chairman Fred Wood and Sen. Melissa Wintrow join me to discuss Medicaid and the state’s response to the COVID-19 crisis.
