Talking With The Chief + Recalled Chicken + House Lost

Morning, Boise! Let's get you started this Tuesday with everything you need to know going on today. Here's everything happening today in Boise.

The Boise Daily is here for your week after our long weekend. After a year on the job, the Boise Police Chief has some things to say about the capital city and the new Miss Idaho dons fatigues, not a formal dress on the weekends. A city council person had declared she wants to do it again and a Weiser woman is homeless after illegal firework use.

First, today's weather: Clear throughout the day. High: 107 Low: 75.

The long weekend (for some) is over and time to get back to the grind. Our hot weather continues, so be careful. Remember to support your local businesses and support the Boise Daily. We are here everyday, free to open and read at your convenience.
