Cutting Healthcare Budgets & Public Safety in Idaho with Ben Fuhriman

Ben Fuhriman is an Idaho State Representative and came in to talk about funding cuts that have been made to programs in Health and Welfare, including some made to the ACT program. The ACT program provided in-home services to people with high levels of mental illness, including schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder, which helped them stay medicated, functional, and in their homes. That is no longer the case for many.

The Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho. The Boise area is home to many counties and ways of life. It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different. Ada County is also home to our state capital and many of our elected officials. 

The Ranch Podcast is shot just north of Eagle, Idaho.
