Idaho is experiencing rapid growth due to its traditional American values and pro-business government. However, this growth has exposed serious problems that the state continues to ignore.

Prison System Underfunded

The state’s prison system remains underfunded, with inadequate funding for staff and facilities. This has led to concerns about the safety of inmates and the need for new jails and an overhaul of the state’s prison system.

Schools Struggling

Idaho’s schools are also struggling, with the state ranking near the bottom in test scores and teacher pay despite spending over half of the general fund on schools. This raises concerns about the effectiveness of the state’s department of education and the need for better results.

Roads in Disrepair

The state’s roads are also in disrepair, with traffic becoming a significant problem. A significant amount of money needs to be invested to restore a sane quality of life for commuters in the Gem State.
