Idaho Public Television is your source for up-to-the-moment news and perspective about the 2010 Idaho legislative session. And it will be a session of historic proportions. After two and a half years of capitol building renovation and expansion, policy makers will be grappling with the effects of a down-turned economy on the state revenue that funds basic governmental services.

IdahoPTV is poised to dramatically expand your ability to stay on top of the issues with both Idaho Reports and Idaho Legislature Live.

It all begins on Thursday, January 7th, with Capitol Of Light: The People's House, a documentary look at our historic capitol and the unprecedented renovation efforts for it, all shot in high definition.
