BOISE, Idaho — Lawmakers voted Tuesday to advance a resolution that would end Idaho Gov. Brad Little's coronavirus emergency declaration, a move designed to lift restrictions across the state that would also strip Idaho of its eligibility for some federal emergency aid money.

"It is time to return to normal. Not a new normal, to normal," said Rep. Christy Zito.

    We did have 2 years with that and the gutless Republicans refused to implement Trump's plans, e.g., (1)the wall and (2) repeal Obamacare. They have proven to be almost as corrupt as the Democrats. I sincerely hope that the rumors of prosecutions are true and include enough CINO's to give others incentive to act for American interests over their own.

    Despite the legislature I am Gulched in E Wis. There is so much innovation and adherence to equitable trade in this area. I hear comments that the area is economically depressed because housing costs are so low....it is stable...for more than a century of upheavals...stable. The rural population is greater than the urban population..a huge influence. And I'll not be surprised if MN goes red this year.

    I sincerely hope the democrats lose presidency, house, and senate this time around and we can actually see some positive changes in our country.

    Fear was used by the left to get people to surrender power to the leftists. I am done with this virus thing. Its a disease like many others, and common sense actions just need to be taken, and that doesnt include the masks, social distancing, etc. I really doubt that solves the problem. Herd immunity is the evenual solution. thats why New york has almost 0 deaths now. They have herd immunity.

    Many churches have been ideologically overtaken by the left. They infiltrate and destroy everything they touch (or so it seems to me). My church here in North Carolina went from having staunch christian values to advocating for us all to support open borders. It's nuts!

    Outstanding! I almost moved to Idaho in 2008 and instead moved to Durham, North Carolina. Little did I know a million leftists would follow me to Durham and turn it into the shit show it has become. Durham used to be all families with young kids working at local high tech jobs and now I can't go to the grocery store without seeing Femi-nazis trying to tyrannically tell other shoppers what to do and cross dressers (that don't hurt anyone, but it's still not the place it used to be.)

    Time to seriously start considering moving to Idaho.

    The Pennsylvania State House did the same thing. The Demorat governor Tom Wolf sued and won. The Next step is for the Representatives trying to repeal the law that gave Wolf the power to extend his declaration.

    Sitting at dinner tonight I overheard a conversation. Business owner lamenting the shutdowns and how 20k of stimulus funds didn't even make a dent in overhead. I heard him express that he had historically voted DFL. "I am done with their "BS" was the ensuing comment.

    Anyone else getting the vibe from general news and internet posts that Idaho is experiencing a steady immigration of conservative individuals? Emigrating from Demo controlled states. Not radical-right like Couer-d'Alene had years ago, but common sense down to earth folk. The Gulch? ;-)

    When a church cowers to Lucifer. They are no church I want to attend. Churches have shirked responsibilities to remind the sheep that God is in control but also we are responsible to avoid the pit falls told to us in God's word. We are in or approaching the End Times. Watch for them and God's return. Anything less than that is dangerous to your soul.

    Some things are more important than money. Especially if the money works against you. Most likely those who decided to do this were thinking its better to restore a healthy working economy than to continue banking with a limited funds bank. I agree. Let people resume their life. Pick up the pieces and make a stronger healthier society. Bravo to Idaho!

    House Majority Leader Rep. Mike Moyle, R-Star, said that Idaho should not be relying on those federal funds anyway.

    "I refuse, when we talk about money, I refuse to sell my liberties for money," he said. "I refuse to be blackmailed for money. And I refuse to sell my state and my blessings of my family and everything else for some federal freaking check."

    Rep. Tim Remington, R-Couer d'Alene, said that the emergency declaration "instilled fear" in Idaho citizens, causing divisions in the state.

    He said that people need to reject that fear, and expressed surprise at church pastors in the state who have canceled services out of concerns about COVID-19 spreading through their congregation.
