It was another packed week in Idaho news. The legislature began their 2021 session after Gov. Brad Little s Monday State of the State Address. At the same time, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout continues but at a slower pace than was projected while members of the Idaho National Guard are on their way to D.C to protect the capital ahead of the inauguration.
We talk about this and much more on the
Idaho Matters Reporter Roundtable.
