Ex-MAGA Granny Rejects Trump Pardon, Idaho Pay Debate, and Winter Fest Buzz

It’s Friday and host Lindsay Van Allen is joined again by Boise State political scientist Charlie Hunt to chat about theweek’s biggest stories. They’re diving into the fallout from Trump’s Jan. 6th pardons, including the impact of a local ‘ex-MAGA granny’ who refuses to be pardoned. Then they crunch the numbers on a proposed pay raise for state employees and judges — could it be a move that makes Idaho more competitive? Plus, the different ways to build your community from city council chats to a brand new winter music festival.  Want some more Boise news?
