So once again Boise, like a petulant child, refuses to comply. This time it’s with legislation prohibiting public camping. They established what is for all intents and purposes a useless ordinance that fines people $10 for each violation. I wonder how many fines have actually been paid. I wonder how many homeless people have altered their behavior and decided not to camp outside on public property because of these tiny fines. While Boise is playing games again, a young man is dead. I hope that the legislature adds some real teeth to this law next session.
I think either option is good. Maybe vary it depending on the length of the article--longer ones having a summary email with link. I'm not sure if you're linking directly to Gem State Chronicle (GSC) on your emails, as I always go to your Substack and use the "Read More" links. If you're not linking directly to GSC in your email now, I suggest doing so.
I would also be open to your having an email subscription tied to Gem State Chronicle, similar to what Jason Rantz does with SeattleRed. Then just link to your Substack when you're writing something not in GSC.
