With help from this Ting-supported campaign, we plan to continue offering more long-form, investigative stories about topics that concern North Idaho. With a bit of extra revenue, we can occasionally hire an additional writer to work on more in-depth articles.

Sandpoint City Council just denied a proposed city-wide mask mandate with a 4-2 vote. Council President Shannon Williamson cast the deciding nay, stating she believed it was a decision best left to the Panhandle Health District.

One hour in. The crowd at today’s Sandpoint BLM protest has only grown. It has also remained peaceful. I just checked in with event organizer Suzanne Tugman. “My faith is renewed. Seriously, I was thinking ‘Oh my god, we are losing this battle,’ but we’re not,’” she tells me.
