    Cybertruck Trashed, Pool Inspections Ending, and Hokey Pokey Money

Meanwhile, state lawmakers quietly ended public pool inspections, raising questions about summer safety. And Idaho Gives is closing out strong, while a local foundation helps students thanks to… the Hokey Pokey. KTVB’s Brian Holmes joins host Lindsay Van Allen, this week, to break down the latest Treasure Valley stories. Want some more Boise news?
