Thank you @IdahoStatesman for removing the pay wall and translating this into Spanish. It is aligned with JJ's values, and his community appreciates it. 🙏

[Kathy @K_M_Griz]

What an incredible loss to our community. JJ was, well - JJ! ✨💫Bringing so much light, hope and optimism into our lives. And he used his platform to lift up so many talented voices in the Latino community. It’s a sad day for all of us 💔

It was great to see @CongMikeSimpson yesterday to share the work we're doing to protect our water supply and expand our geothermal system. Our Public Works team's innovation in phosphorus removal is leading the nation, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to highlight that work.

[Mayor Lauren McLean @boisemayor]

The Inflation Reduction Act, signed one year ago, tackles climate change by creating green jobs, lowering energy bills and more.

We are committed to taking action because our prosperity is linked to clean energy, clean air and water, and open space.

It has been one year since the signing of the bipartisan CHIPS & Sciences Act into law. This bill helps bring further investments in domestic semiconductor production, paving the way for a once in a generation investment in Boise’s economy by a home-grown company, @MicronTech.

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked Arkansas from enforcing a law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing "harmful" materials to minors. https://t.co/dmNt4DyWm4

[Mayor Lauren McLean @boisemayor]

From not on the map in 2022 to welcoming passenger rail industry leaders in 2023, Boise has shown up and worked for this opportunity. I am grateful for community members, like former council member Elaine Clegg, who dedicate their time and roll up their sleeves for this progress.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

Countdown is on! So excited to join @ACYPL for our upcoming exchange to Australia 🇦🇺

[ACYPL @ACYPL]

Looking forward to another life-changing exchange!
