2-20 Rep. Steve Berch eulogy of the late Rep. Hy Kloc
I was honored to give the eulogy for former state representative Hy Kloc, who passed away three years ago in December, 2022.
It is poignant to reflect on his life's story, personal attributes, and how they contrast with events taking place today. #idpol #idleg

You could see Idahoβs budget crisis coming. The GOP did nothing | Opinion
Now, Idaho faces a $555 million fiscal cliff due to the massive gap between revenue and needed services. | Opinion
THE LEGISLATURE MADE THIS FISCAL BED. NOW YOU HAVE TO SLEEP IN IT. The Idaho Legislature deliberately reduced state revenue by over $4.5 BILLION over the next 10 years. Expect majority party leaders to now cut budgets and reduce vital services. #idpol #idleg

US Mint presses final pennies as production ends after more than 230 years
The U.S. has ended production of the penny. The last 1-cent coins were made Wednesday at the mint in Philadelphia.
After 230 years, the penny is dead. And along with it, so goes these time-honored sayings (to name a few):
A penny for your thoughts
A pretty penny
Penny-wise and pound foolish
Penny pincher
In for a penny, in for a pound
Long live the nickel.

From Rep. Steve Berch: Being an American
DOOR KNOCK OF THE DAY. This disturbing experience at the door motivates me to continue visiting voters to stay in touch, answer their questions, engage in meaningful conversation, and (in this case) underscore one aspect of BEING AN AMERICAN. #idpol #idleg

Labrador Letter: Election Day - Idaho Office of Attorney General
Dear Friends, Tomorrow is Election Day, and I hope youβll take a few minutes to cast your ballot in your local elections. We sometimes focus so much on national races (...)
Idaho AG Raul Labrador confirms that voting early is SAFE AND SECURE. He was so confident that he voted early himself. Any attempt by the legislature to make it more difficult to vote early (by mail or in person) is clearly without merit. #idpol #idleg

This notice appeared on page 47 of the latest edition of the University of Minnesota's business school alumni magazine (where I went to graduate school).
No medals, stadium-sized tributes, flags at half-staff, or millions of social media posts.
But equally tragic.

West Boise residents rally to get library in their neighborhood
Although residents in West Boise pay taxes that support local libraries, they don't have easy access to one. Now, they are advocating for filling the library desert.
I AM PROUD TO SUPPORT the families in West Boise working to establish a public library in their neighborhood. It is one of the last sections of West Boise annexed into the city without convenient access to a local public library.

The Idaho Legislature has abandoned community as a value | Opinion
Community is the abandoned value in todayβs Idaho Legislature β respecting our neighbors. | Opinion
The legislature is turning Idaho into an "us-VERSUS-them" state.
You may be one of βusβ today, but be labeled one of βthemβ tomorrow by others.
The respect and rights afforded βthemβ today may be the respect and rights YOUβLL want to have tomorrow.

Rep. Steve Berch newsletter: Yellow flags (budget cuts)
SEVERAL YELLOW FLAGS have appeared since the 2025 legislative session ended. My latest newsletter discusses one of them: expected reduction in state services due to spending cuts in response to a projected budget deficit.
This was a foreseeable and preventable situation.
