📰 News we're reading
• Fulcher co-sponsors privacy bill with guardrails for Flock cameras (idahopress.com) — Caldwell residents’ concerns about Flock surveillance cameras, aired at a packed city council meeting, are now part of the backdrop for new federal privacy legislation co-sponsored by Idaho Congressman Russ Fulcher. The bill would require warrants for federal access to local camera data, limit how long agencies can keep it, and mandate regular reporting to Congress, while still letting Idaho cities set their own surveillance policies. 
• Idaho driver killed a woman while driving drunk. Now he'll spend decades in prison (idahostatesman.com) — A drunk driver has been sentenced to life in prison for a deadly wrong-way crash on I-84 between Nampa and Caldwell that killed 20-year-old Gabriela Gonzales and injured two others. Canyon County prosecutors say the case should warn local drivers about the severe consequences of impaired driving in the Caldwell area.
• The Commutes Americans Would Pay Thousands to Avoid (goodmenproject.com) — People who regularly drive Chinden Boulevard between Boise and Caldwell say they’d give up about $4,800 a year in pay just to avoid that commute, according to a new national survey. The report shows how traffic on this busy Treasure Valley corridor affects stress, family time, and even job decisions, as many workers weigh shorter commutes over higher salaries or promotions.
