POCATELLO - The American Legion Auxiliary is holding their annual Holiday Gift Boutique this weekend.

You can peruse jewelry, hand-made hats and blankets, bags, and dozens of other items from 24 different vendors.

The sale raises money for the Auxiliary to support local veterans, and send items like coupons to those serving overseas. Barbara Wadlow, Pocatello American Legion Auxiliary President said, "To help somebody, especially the veterans who have given so much to us, some of them paid the greatest price for us, and to be able to give back a little bit to them that's what it's all about."

The boutique is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Bannock County Veterans Memorial Building.

Since state law requires a balanced state budget, Gov. Otter is concerned that falling tax revenue might force the state to make much deeper cuts than currently planned. What do you think about the Idaho law requiring a balanced budget?

  • It seemed like a good idea at the time, but these are unusual times. How much more can we cut out of education, etc.? We need to revisit the balanced budget law.
  • If more education funding and state services need to be cut, so be it. Sometimes it's painful to live within a budget, but it's the right thing to do.
  • Not sure.
