Week 4 (2-5-2010)Week in Review: This week, Idaho Reports gets back to basics, with an explanation of how state lawmakers develop the budget.

Week 4 (cont.)Across the Spectrum: Panelists Sue Reents, Tom Ryder, Dolores Crow, and Mark Snodgrass gather for coffee and conversation at Cole Marr Coffeehouse. What has them fired up this week? The Tea Party's effect on Idaho's GOP, drama at the Department of Parks and Recreation, a seemingly outrageous amount of uncollected taxes, and an explosive story in the Idaho Statesman outlining $68-thousand dollars worth of ribbon cutting events to showcase the governor's signature road projects. Below the Dome: Lewiston Tribune Statehouse reporter Bill Spence, Idaho Statesman reporter Cynthia Sewell, Betsy Russell of The Spokesman-Review and political analyst Dr. Jim Weatherby provide insight into the latest developments in capitol politics. This week's topics include the Parks & Recreation Board's reversal on closing Dworshak State Park, fallout from Sewell's story about the cost of several ribbon cutting events attended by lawmakers, and the onslaught of election year politics permeating the halls of the statehouse — including a new attack from gubernatorial candidate Keith Allred. Public Servant of the Week: Sen. Tim Corder of Mountain Home (District 22).
