Pride Flag Loophole, Library Elections, and Patio Weather

It’s Friday, so host Lindsay Van Allen and executive producer Frankie Barnhill are diving into the week’s biggest local stories. First, they chat through the Boise City Council’s decision to make the Pride flag an official city flag, sparking heated conversations and making national news. Then, they remind us about the May 20 library board elections, which are becoming the next front in Idaho’s culture wars. And to head into the weekend, we’re celebrating the warm weekend forecast on a beloved restaurant’s brand new patio.  For more on what will be on your May 20 ballot, check out our Hey Boise article. And here’s where to early vote through Friday, May 16.  Want some more Boise news? Head over to our Hey Boise newsletter where you’ll get a cheatsheet to the city every weekday morning.
