• Kuna & Nampa Fire host town hall series on proposed merger into one agency (kivitv.com) — Kuna residents are weighing a proposed merger of the Kuna and Nampa fire districts that could bring faster emergency response but raise Kuna property taxes about $20 per $100,000 of taxable value. Firefighters and many neighbors voiced strong support at a recent town hall, while others questioned representation on a new five-member commission and the long-term tax impact.
