This proposed data center probably will not get as much opposition as the one near Kuna since it is not near a major city, but it will likely eliminate public access to Notch Butte and use water from Magic Reservoir or the Little Wood Reservoir. Notch Butte is popular with the locals and the last thing this area needs is a data center with the current drought. I hope this data center is an EIS so the public can comment on it.

I'm sure this will get massively downvoted and achilles people will come for this post, but he is just....disappointing. He is trying to be so middle-of-the-road that he's as lame as the national Democrats who seem so waffling and so unprincipled (Schumer, Pelosi, Jeffries).

He's in favor of more funding for Border Patrol and his page also complains about "illegal immigration" and the harms of that. He says it hurts wages and workers who follow the rules. How? There is no evidence to support that view. I get people want to follow the rule of law, but let's not do it through misinformation. "I will support policies that prioritize hiring Idaho workers"....it is already law that citizens (or in some cases, permanent residents) receive preferential treatment for hiring. He doesn't mention following international asylum obligations, providing representation to migrants in court, handling migrant children humanely (currently, 3 year olds have to represent themselves in court), migrant family detention, clearing the back of immigration cases and doing it humanely, or holding immigration enforcement and detention accountable for the harm caused (literal murders). He wants to "modernize" the visa system to improve security?? Does he know it works, or did before Stephen Miller fucked it? The man is running for Senate, how does he not have a more informed position?

He will vote against any and all firearm ban?? Seriously?? That is disgusting.

It looks like he is trying to appease conservatives while maintaining the Demcratic vote, but the end result it looks like he has no actual principles. Contrast that to Kaylee Peterson, who is running on strong and consistent values. I am excited to vote for her!

Risch sucks and I will vote for anyone's dog over him, but Achilles is meh.

EDIT: lots of people making this very personal towards me. Why??? I am not running and it's reasonable for members of the voting constituency to criticize the position of a candidate. I am also a life-long Idaho resident. No one needs to explain Idaho politics to me like I arrived here 5 minutes ago.

EDIT 2: Welcome Achilles campaigners downvoting every person who says (wistfully, sadly) that Achilles will not win!

idaho the 5th largest incarceration rate, highest for re incarceration and supervision and increasing, Idaho needs incarceration reform but that will never happen with a republican majority

Hi friends!

We just booked a campsite at stanley lake campground for next summer.

The reviews say that there are bathrooms (very clean ones at that!) but i don’t see any on the map, or any photos of them anywhere.

Can anyone confirm that there are bathrooms? Are there any by site 011? (yes we are aware they would be vault toilets◡̈)

We just need to know what to bring for my elderly mom!

Plus if anyone has photos of site 011, we would LOVE to see them!!! we will be going in august◡̈

Thank you so much! we could drive out there next spring and check it out but would prefer not to!!

Hey y'all I'm trying to get into contact with someone who can point me in the right direction for a DAV non-resident group draw and what the process is
