Good morning, Pocatello.
🏛️ Government
The Idaho Supreme Court reopened a $21 million lawsuit against Pocatello and private developers over the Northgate project—vacating a 2023 decision that dismissed the case and allowing the Rupp family to challenge the alleged conspiracy to block access to their land and cheaper water. The case will now return to district court for further review as the city defends its actions.
On August 30, ISAA called on the Idaho Legislature to end gun-free school zones and restore school staff's right to defend themselves.
The group said the failed passage of HB 415 in 2024 left schools vulnerable and warned that unarmed schools make staff and students easy targets.
IDFG reminds hunters in southeast Idaho to review new Canada goose hunt boundaries as Areas 3 and 4 now cover different parts of Bear Lake and Caribou counties and change season dates.
In Area 4 the season runs from today until the 15th and from Oct. 4 until Jan. 1 while in Area 3 it begins on Nov. 3 until Feb. 15 — a change made to give hunters more late-year opportunities.
🏈 Sports
The Highland Football Boosters are raising support for an injured SLAM player (Kasen) who had surgery for a broken femur at Portneuf Medical Center after his game was canceled on Saturday at the ICCU Dome.
The group shared a QR code for donations to help cover his family’s costs for food, hotels, and travel.
