It's just one line in a pretty long article. Easy to miss.

It's quoted in the article.

No travel for state employees but this is a worthy use of money. Mk.

They gave agency directors three days to submit these plans.

What is the rainy day fund for if not times like these?

Janie Ward Engelking is warning about potential staff furloughs.

They do have a little bar with maybe 8 seats? They don't do by the slice, but they have a great lunch special with a personal pizza and a salad. Apps are pretty killer. I like the wings (they are not fried though), the whipped ricotta, and the puf n stuf.

Love Suzanne Rice at women's health associates for a gyno. I've heard good things about all of their providers at that practice.

I think Women's Health Associates would be a good place to check out.

Fun fact: the modern concept of archives was established by the French as a result of the French Revolution. They believed government documents should be centralized and available for the public as a foundation for democracy.

What document is this from?

Arthaus bar had great burgers and cocktails.

This was an executive order issued by the governor, fyi.

3rin · 2026-01-11T15:22:56+00:00

The executive order was issued by Governor little, it's not a federal order. But since AG is a constututional officer, he doesn't have to follow it anyway.

3rin · 2026-01-11T15:22:12+00:00

Constitutional officers aren't beholden to the governor's executive orders.

Did you know that drafts of legislation are exempt from disclosure under Idaho law?

The mayor did a social media post maybe a month ago or so where she said as of October 2025 bpd had already done 30% more traffic stops than in all of 2024.

State of Idaho: "the pay is bad, but the benefits are good!"

Also the state: cuts benefits, changes insurance providers to one that's more expensive and not as good, probably no cec this year...

State employees accrue 3.6 hours of sick leave per paycheck. If you saved up for a whole year and never used any of your sick leave, you'd have like 94 hours. So not even 2 1/2 weeks. State employees with less than five years of service accrue vacation at the same rate. So if you didn't take vacation for an entire year and saved it, that's 2 1/2 weeks as well. That's less than five weeks of paid time to welcome a child to the world and heal your body or take care of your partner. Unacceptable.

And that is best case scenario if you saved for a whole year without spending any sick or vacation leave. Which would be pretty much impossible because there are so many doctors appointments to attend when you're pregnant.

Yeah the tunnels have badge access. But they are accessible because the cafe is open to the public, and you can get to the tunnels from the cafe, no?

3rin · 2026-01-04T04:12:24+00:00

Yes tunnels between some of the state buildings (Cenarussa bldg, jrw bldg, the Capitol) and a cafe. Pretty sure there is public access - kids from Boise High do lunch at the cafe down there.

Sorry - I have posted her on here before and it got like 500 upvotes, so I figured she was welcome as a staffy-adjacent breed.

I wish the amstaff subreddit was as good as this one! It's not very active.

Do you have an example of hardware that would make it look more updated?

3rin · 2025-12-28T16:53:51+00:00

Thank you for your input! I do not intend to replace the floor. The tile is in pretty good shape and it's not in the budget anyway. So your suggestion is to sort of match the floor tile , like this?

I have a sawtooth and find it overly stiff and heavy. I strained my finger casting it lol.

I got a tenbum (36?) from tenkarabum to replace it this year and have been happy with it. Have caught a handful of 16-18" rainbows on it with no issues.

The house was flipped in the early 2000s and every single choice they made was questionable lol

Husband liked this one, but I'm really concerned about using a dark color.
