Roger, Our investigative reporter, Jay Howell, has written [http://www.idahofreedom.net/blog/idahos-new-congressional-districts] an interesting story on the impact of the federal stimulus page on Idaho's 36 congressional districts. What's that you say? Idaho has only two congressional districts? Well, don't tell the federal government, which apparently is under the impression Idaho has many more lists millions of dollars being spent to "save" jobs in congressional districts that simply don't exist!
