Remember when Republicans were giddy with Justice Thomas for upholding the ability to require drug tests of ALL students involved in extra curricular activities in Board of Education of Independent School District of Pottawatomie County, et al. v. Earls? #4thAmendment
And remember when Republicans assured us that extracurricular activities are so important we need a statute to permit school districts to check the genitalia of students? #4thAmendmentidahostatejournal.com/freeaccess/ida…
And now some people are losing their minds because some school districts are requiring vaccines for ALL students involved in extra curricular activities? #4thAmendment fox5dc.com/news/fairfax-c…

Sorry to those that follow me for snarky political and real estate and soccer takes. The following is a serious thread about #BYU and #MormonStuff and our #LGBTQ friends and family
I have had some feedback about my comments on Elder Holland’s talk and think it appropriate to further elaborate.
I have also seen my more conservative friends stating that what Holland said was not being taken with the spirit of love it was intended.
A few more thoughts on HB389 after reviewing some additional budgets for taxing districts last night #idleg
There will be a fight on the 8% cap, is it a cap on budgets, is it a cap on property tax increases for budgets? Those are not the same and the cap is poorly drafted. #idleg
Let’s assume that it is only a cap of 8% on property tax increases for budgets. #idleg
So three of the most conservative anti government members of the #idleg House, Scott, Barbieri and Moon object to not getting their per diem while they are recessed? #GOPHypocrisy
Scott - “The rent down here is super high.” Why yes, yes it is. #idleg#gohome
And note the irony, that Rep. Scot wants taxpayers to pay her rent whole recesses because “I don't like to have to use my campaign finances just to be able to live down here” #ironyisdead#idleg#GOPHypocrisy
On a much more serious note about the #idleg, @ClarkWardleLaw is really concerned that the new tax bill that just passed the Idaho Senate will have a very deleterious impact on small taxing districts without significant tax bases.
#HB389 is a poorly developed grab back of random tax measures.
All taxing districts are now subject to a hard cap under HB389 on annual increases in their budgets of 8%. The proponents say that cities and counties and school districts need to live with in their budgets.
@KristinWardle my time is being wasted with this Idaho Initiative Initiative, or the 3I. I disagree. Wasting time in defense of uselessness is no vice. #idleg#initiative
Section 1 of The TAMMMY N Act creates a new classification of taxable income. Legislative salary and per diem are treated as a separate class of taxable income that is taxed at a rate of 10% through the 30th day of the Legislative session #Idleg#initiatives
On the 31st day of the legislative session the tax rate increases to 150% and on the 60th day of the legislative session the tax rate increases to 200% #Idleg#initiatives
