Good morning, Boise.

Idaho ranchers Lynn and Glenna Rasmussen filed a lawsuit against Simplot for a toxic spill from a phosphate slurry pipeline that contaminated water in Caribou National Forest in September 2023.

They claim the spill harmed their cattle operation and are seeking $29.5 million in damages + $250 million in punitive damages for deliberate and outrageous conduct.

On Friday, Idaho's health department sent its request to the federal government to ban the use of SNAP benefits for buying candy and soda—an effort aimed at promoting healthier food choices.

John Evans, the Garden City mayor for 20 years, said he will not run for reelection—he feels it is time to retire.

Garden City will soon begin plans to find a new leader.
