🌱 Reclaim Idaho + Boise's 10 Commandments + Tamarack Weekend

Good morning, Boise! Let's get this Monday started off right. Here's everything worth knowing today in town.

Welcome to the Monday edition of the Boise Daily. We start with a group gathering signatures to raise more money for schools by taxing those among us making the most. Last day skiers gathered at Tamarack for a final day and we offer you five new homes in Boise ready for you to move in. We urge you to read and live by one author's 10 Commandments for living in the capital city and an old bus station will soon house much more than waiting riders.

First, today's weather:

A shower; breezy in the p.m.. High: 62 Low: 35.
