The decision to wear a mask should be yours alone

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President
July 19, 2020
Lewiston Tribune opinion writer Marty Trillhaase boldly claims that if Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin, Rep.

By Idaho Freedom Foundation staff
July 14, 2020
By Steve West With Idaho’s public health authorities considering face mask mandates and further restrictions on business activity throughout Idaho, it’s well past time to examine who is making such decisions and their qualifications to do so.

Since Idaho had its first confirmed COVID-19 case, Gov. Brad Little has temporarily suspended 150 regulations in order to facilitate a quick response to the pandemic.
