Idaho insurance director details $13M school trust collapse

Dozens of school trustees were granted an impromptu session with Idaho Department of Insurance Director Dean Cameron on Wednesday to discuss the collapse of an employee health insurance program. Nothing has changed — they all had to pay their share of the Idaho School Benefit Trust’s $13 million shortfall — but they had the opportunity to get some questions answered during their annual Idaho School Boards Association conference in Boise. Cameron provided some new details about what happened to the trust, as his department is conducting an investigation that is expected to wrap up this month. Those managing the trust set rates too low and were counting on a “hope, a wing and a prayer” to get through the latest benefit year. Instead, their plan didn’t work. The trust became insolvent and a district court judge has taken all authority away from the trust’s leaders and granted full power to Cameron to rehabilitate the benefit trust. “The nightmare took place really over a couple-year period of time,” Cameron said. “The trust had assumed the risk, and the risk occurred.” Sen.-elect Soñia Galaviz, D-Boise, asked Cameron to speak at the ISBA conference and said he had to rearrange his schedule to

Idaho Has 5 Train Depots That Became Museums And You Still Walk The Original Platforms

One old Idaho train station now sells huckleberry ice cream made with potatoes. Another lets you climb a bell tower for a view across the valley. I love that these buildings refused to retire quietly. The trains stopped carrying passengers years ago, but the depots kept their tracks, their platforms, and their stories.

Idaho voters turned out at high rates to vote in midterm election. Some waited hours to vote.

In Idaho’s general election Tuesday, some voters were voting hours after polls had closed in the state’s second most populated county. Voting bled into Wednesday. The last voter in Canyon County cast their ballot at 12:20 a.m., Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane said in an interview Wednesday morning. In Idaho, polls close at 8 p.m. local time. But voters can still cast votes if they are in line by the deadline. And in Canyon County in southwest Idaho, some voters waited in lines for more than four hours, McGrane said. The lines there, driven by high turnout and long ballots, were one of his biggest challenges of the night. “The interesting thing, both visiting with the poll workers and watching some of the news outlets that visited out there, the voters were really patient, really kind, very determined to want to be able to cast their vote. I think it was incredible just to see the sense of community out there,” McGrane said. “Regardless, I think we owe it to the voters, and we’ve certainly heard some feedback just in terms of how frustrating that was. We want to make sure the voting process goes smoothly.” The lines were

From Baghdad to Boise: Meridian veteran recounts battle with blindness, help from guide dog

MERIDIAN — Retired Army major Joe Bogart and his wife, Christine, met in jail. “I was still a reserve deputy. She was a young state trooper,” Joe recalled. “We got married, and she informed me she did not want to be part of a two-cop household.” In addition to his policing career — which saw him work occasional shifts at the county jail — Joe was active-duty Army as a combat engineer, operating heavy equipment and driving dump trucks around Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. It was the late ‘90s. Joe had already done five years with the National Guard by his early 20s, and he’d thought he’d enlist for a few years before going full time with law enforcement. But after Christine’s request, he decided to extend his term of service. The couple had a son, Jonathan. Joe reached the rank of sergeant. There were deployments to Kosovo and Germany, and he attended night classes to complete a college degree, before deciding to go to officer candidate school in Georgia. “I got commissioned as a second lieutenant with the Corps of Engineers,” he said. “In 2006, they were kind of short on lieutenants in Iraq, and they had way too
