Disabled community demands safe legislative session
BOISE, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK)-The Idaho Council on Developmental Disabilities and 30 supporting groups are voicing concern about the safety and health of the upcoming legislative session and conditions that could threaten their constitutional rights.
Concerned about what it called the dangerous environment created by “gun-toting anti-government militia groups” during the August special session, the Council is worried that participating in the 2021 regular session could put their lives in jeopardy.
“We have no reason to believe that we won’t see a repeat of the Special Session that took place this summer in the upcoming general session,” said Council Executive Director Christine Pisani.
