Good morning, Idaho Falls.
🏘️ Community
Tickets go on sale today for Idaho’s Oldest Rodeo—The War Bonnet Round Up—set for Sandy Downs from July 31 to Aug.
2 with general admission starting at $22 and VIP seating at $65. Organizers say the 114th event will feature top PRCA cowboys and cowgirls and urge early purchase as tickets often sell out.
🏛️ Government
An Idaho bill—aimed at removing candy and soda from SNAP benefits—passed the senate and is headed to Governor Brad Little's desk.
If signed, the law will let the state request a waiver from the USDA and reapply each year if the waiver is not granted.
Residents and local commissioners in Idaho Falls testified Tuesday morning to discuss a proposed 180-day moratorium that would pause new mining applications for aquifer recharge projects near a home with water quality issues.
County officials called for improved regional permitting while a canal company attorney warned that any delay might affect timely water recharge (studies show the project could add 240 acre-feet daily).
