Six years ago, Reclaim Idaho promised the people of Idaho that Medicaid Expansion would only cost around $400 million a year and that, since it was mostly covered by the federal government, it would be practically free. Today, taxpayers are shelling out many times that amount, and with the national debt now over $35 trillion, […]
VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION 1 to OPPOSE RANK CHOICE VOTING (RCV). Proposition 1 includes restoring an open Republican Primary where Democrats cross over and vote for the most liberal Republicans.
