This week on Idaho Reports, we'll catch you up on the fighting for and against SJR 102, the constitutional amendment to allow the Legislature to call its own special sessions. We'll also hear about a scholarship idea that Idaho's university student body presidents intend to pitch to lawmakers for funding this session.

Candidates make their case to replace Gov. Brad Little
Hispanic voter outreach and resources
District court eyes death warrant for Pizzuto

Idaho Reports airs Friday at 8 p.m. on Idaho Public Television.

Democratic candidate Stephen Heidt and independent candidate Ammon Bundy

This year, we at Idaho Public Television and debate organizers nationwide saw a number of candidates decline to participate in debates, or fail to respond to our invitations in the first place. As Federal Election Commission rules say we cannot hold a debate with just one candidate, we allowed those who did qualify a chance to sit down with Idaho Reports for one-on-one interviews in which they can answer questions much like those they would receive in a traditional debate.
