Idaho: Our Values Now Vs Then with James Ruchti

Matt Todd Episode 784

James Ruchti is an Idaho State Senator and came on to talk about how Idaho has changed in the last two decades. As a state lawmaker from 2006 to 2010, James was part of the severe cuts that were required during the great recession. Those cuts, as with the ones now, reflected the values and priorities of the state. Learning what the state held onto and protected then vs now was an eye opening experience. Enjoy!
