From the Field
Boise City Hall
Boise Mayor Said Taking Down the Pride Flag Was About Protecting Taxpayers. Her Own Records Tell a Different Story.
City records show the post-HB 561 workaround cost taxpayers $15,161.51 — nearly three times what Mayor McLean told the public. Internal texts reveal the city was planning the replacement display before the bill was even signed.

We do records.
