BOISE • Some Idaho officials said Tuesday that reforms, additional Industrial oversight and education may be in order after a pair of legislators billed taxpayers an extra $6,400 apiece for a second residence this year — while one sleeps on his law office couch and the other says he stays at his Waste or parents home. Idaho legislators received nearly $1 million in per diem payments in 2011, money with no public scruti- ny over how it s spent.

Please see MANURE, M2 Jason Hutcherson, 30, was booked into the Mini-Cassia Criminal Jus- tice Center on Tuesday evening on several charges, with more expected following the day s events. According to Minidoka County Sheriff Kevin Halverson, the incident began in the morning when a woman reportedly saw Hutcherson jump in her sport utility vehicle and drive off. Deputies chased the SUV around the city of Paul before losing it. Later, around 3 p.m., a citizen called in the vehicle in the area of Milner Dam, said Jerome County Chief Deputy Jack Johnson. An at- tempt to pull the vehicle over led to a pursuit lasting less than one mile. When the chase reached a dead end on a dirt canyon road, Hutcher- son allegedly got out of the car, ran away from deputies on foot and swam across the Snake River below Milner — not an easy feat given how swift the river s running right now, Halverson noted. Deputies searched the area and al- legedly found Hutcherson hiding in the rocks in the dam s overflow area. The chase was over by about 5:30 p.m. The Minidoka, Jerome and Twin Falls county sheriff s offices and the Idaho State Police all participated in the search. Halverson commended the cooperation and communication among the four agencies. “And it all worked out to where no citizens were hurt. That s the main thing,”Halverson said.

“We re thankful that Amanda s nightmare is over. She suffered for four years for a crime she did not commit.” — Deanna Knox, the younger sister of Amanda Knox in comments after an Italian OPINION appeals court threw out Amanda s murder conviction
OUR VIEW Why are CSI s Grad Rates so Low? e respect Jerry Beck, president of the College of Southern Idaho, for owning W up to CSI s low graduation rate. “We need to do a better job,” he said of CSI s rock-bottom number in a study released last week. Beck went on to say that the system of tracking graduation isn t an accurate measure of what goes on at community colleges. Cesar Perez, CSI s Ad- vising Center Director, said that we shouldn t com- pare CSI s graduation rate because it has so many part-time students. We re not as quick to blame the methodology be- hind the study as CSI s administration seems to be. The study created a playing field as level as pos- sible. Only “full-time, first-time” students were counted, and CSI was compared with other com- munity colleges in the state. And they still came in last. Even if you take four-year schools out of the mix, CSI doesn t stand up favorably to its counterparts. Eastern Idaho Technical College s graduation rate is nearly double that of CSI. North Idaho College s is a quarter higher. CSI is a feather in the cap of the Magic Valley. It s an institution that enriches us all, whether that en- richment comes in learning a new trade or bring- ing the arts to our doorstep. We re lucky to have it s academic and cultural leadership in our back yard.
