Good morning, Coeur d'Alene. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 2nd of April.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • On Tuesday morning in rainy, 40-degree weather, volunteers from Second Harvest and St. Vincent de Paul distributed 16,000 pounds of food — including fruits, vegetables, pet food, diapers, and pull-ups — to about 300 families at Lake City High School.  Coeur d'Alene Press

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • On Tuesday, Coeur d'Alene City Council tabled changes to require sidewalks for new projects and repairs regardless of distance and to raise the permit threshold from $30,000 to $45,000; council members said the rules need clearer language so homeowners do not face extra costs (staff will revise the proposal next month) (30% of neighborhoods lack sidewalks, leaving pedestrians to walk in streets).  Coeur d'Alene Press
  • In Boise, senators approved the Medicaid budget—Idaho's largest spending measure—on Monday with a 22–13 vote after extended debate. The $5.2 billion plan has $3.4 billion from the federal government and an extra $674 million for necessary contracts and reforms, and it will go to the House for another vote.  Coeur d'Alene Press
  • On Monday, the Senate passed Senate Bill 1198 with a vote of 27-8 to ban DEI in required courses, hiring, admissions and training at public colleges. The bill now heads to a House committee—lawmakers say these restrictions will check DEI programs— and public universities may see changes in policies.  Coeur d'Alene Press
  • The Coeur d'Alene River Ranger District office in Fernan is temporarily closed because a broken water line caused the issue–the Forest Service offices in Smelterville and Coeur d'Alene remain open for maps, permits, and customer service. No reopening date has been provided for the Fernan office.  Coeur d'Alene Press
