Burkhart quoted on local politics

Ross Burkhart, professor of political science, was quoted in a recent article published for Courthouse News, a news outlet that focuses on politics, public policy, and the judiciary system.

The article, "In Boise, Idaho, a political game of capture the flag," discusses the recent controversy and local views on the City of Boise flying Pride flags. The city is currently in a legal battle with the state of Idaho due to the passage of House Bill 96, prohibiting local governments from flying flags not on an approved list. The City of Boise made the Pride flag an official city flag, circumventing the state law.
