A 23-year-old man from Parma just got sentenced to a year in county jail for a deadly crash on icy roads—he was speeding, lost control while passing a semi, and slammed head-on into a car driven by paramedic Kody Hansen, who died instantly. Perez initially denied guilt but later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter, leading to this sentence: 340 days suspended, 100 hours of community service by August 2027, 12 months of unsupervised probation, and $200 monthly restitution.

Who Controls Idaho’s Road Signs | Boise News

Boise News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/08/11

When Idaho’s 70 mph truck speed limit signs mysteriously vanished last month, it sparked a bigger question: who really runs the road signs? The answer? It’s a shared job between the state and local cities like Nampa. Cities manage everyday signs—stop, one-way, warnings—over 17,000 of them—but state highways? That’s ITD’s turf. Emergency signs get fixed fast; no-parking signs? Not so urgent. And here’s the twist: many signs are printed in-house on reflective material, even reprinted over old

New “LightSpeed Digital Insights” tool tracks app usage to measure engagement, with feedback from teachers, parents, and the community guiding policy tweaks by 2027-2028. The shift kicked

2026/08/11

West Ada School District is launching “Intentional Device Use” this fall to cut back on screen time and make tech work harder for learning—not just fill space. The plan bans devices during downtime, requires every tech lesson to have a clear purpose, and uses real data to guide decisions. After listening to teachers, parents, and students, they found that removing distractions boosted learning—and surprisingly, strengthened social connections.

Anti-abortion groups are rallying behind new Attorney General Todd Blanche to revive the 1873 Comstock Act, arguing it can legally block mailing abortion medication — a move they say is urgently needed after the FDA eased mail-order access to mifepristone following the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling.

2026/08/11

Automated license plate readers are being misused for immigration enforcement — even in places where local laws explicitly forbid it. In Idaho, a group called DeFlock uncovered that Twin Falls Police cameras were searched over 600 times for immigration purposes in just months, despite clear restrictions. The culprit? A national data-sharing network that lets agencies bypass local rules. While the system’s reciprocity helps track suspects across state lines, it also erodes local control. Twin

Idaho House Speaker Mike Moyle is back in the tax battle, this time fighting to slash the county’s sky-high valuations of three northern family parcels—claiming one worth $2.7 million is actually worth just under $21,000. The dispute erupted after his family explored development plans, prompting the county to classify the land as prime for building, citing a private lake and sidewalks.
