Tragedy in Twin Falls: A 12-year-old boy died after a possible drowning at Dierkes Lake Park; search-and-rescue found him in the water, and he later died at St. Luke’s Magic Valley. Public Safety & Local Control: The Twin Falls area closed Shoshone Falls and Dierkes Lake Park after the incident, while Bonner County officials also renewed warnings to boaters about no-wake zones and illegal buoys. Idaho Politics: A lawsuit over Idaho’s K-12 bathroom law has been dropped after plaintiffs dismissed both a district court case and a Ninth Circuit appeal, with Attorney General Raúl Labrador saying the law remains fully in effect. Housing Fight: Idaho lawmakers are pushing “affordable housing” bills that critics say shift power from cities to the state, including limits on ADU rules and short-term rental regulation. Energy & Environment: EPA chief Lee Zeldin toured the Great Salt Lake after a proposed $1 billion federal push, as Utah protesters rallied against a massive Box Elder data center.
