Trash Club + Football Tickets + Boise Federal Project Funding

Rise and shine, Boise! Let's get you all caught up to start this Tuesday off on an informed note. Here are the most important things going on in Boise today.

Newcomers to the valley probably don't realize over 34,000 residents live just outside the city limits. Now with angry discussions regarding the Murgoitio land, the questions of annexation arises. The Trash Club is cleaning up the city while football tickets are now on sale for the Broncos. A large chunk of land in Boise is up for sale, and our federal representative has found some money for a few Boise projects.

First, today's weather: Partly cloudy throughout the day. High: 97, low: 71.
