The Idaho 97% + Cam Disagreement + Frigging Frogs

Welcome back, Boise! Let's get you all caught up to start this Wednesday off on an informed note. Here's everything you need to know today in Boise.

Patrons attending the recent Boise School District meeting represented two opposing beliefs, much like representing the nation. A ruling by the FAA states homes can be built on land originally slated for a park and the city's new Warehouse Food Hall already has tenants signed on. The city's leader and county prosecutor disagree on a body cam issue and we offer frog frigging as a new adventure.

First, today's weather: Clear throughout the day. High: 99 Low: 68.

Here are the top stories in Boise today:
