1. Here may be the best news of the day. CBS2 news staff report Idaho gas prices are slowly, slowly falling. Even with Idaho having the seventh-most expensive fuel in the country, the price last week fell by 4 cents. Smile the next time you fuel up and remember California drivers — fueling up your pickup in California will run $6.09 a gallon. (idahonews)
2. A Boise pastor and former candidate for state school superintendent has a new job. IdahoEdNews reporter Kevin Richert writes Branden Durst will join the Idaho Family Policy Center as senior public policy fellow. Durst, an ordained pastor at the Cloverdale Church of God, joins the nonprofit that describes itself as “the premier conservative Christian policy research and educational organization in the state.” The group was a proponent of a recent bill allowing librarians to face criminal charges if they disseminated obscene materials.
