In case you missed the memo: Idaho’s latest Election Day is almost here. It’s Tuesday, May 20. The May off-year election is not high-profile. There are no prominent races for federal or state offices, or even county or city ones. But in Ada and Canyon counties, candidates are running for seats on the boards of library, auditorium and sewer districts that impose taxes to pay for government services. School, fire and ambulance districts are asking voters to cough up more money.

Change may be coming soon to Simplot Hill, the site just off Bogus Basin Road where the mansion belonging to the late Idaho potato and agriculture titan J.R. Simplot once stood — and where its iconic flag still waves. The Simplot Family Foundation said Monday that it plans to turn the 200-acre Boise Highlands property into a park with a hilltop viewing pavilion, a grand staircase, winding paths and “secret” ponds, a play area for children, an outdoor picnic area and water features.

The making of yogurt with milk from Idaho cows is a big business, and it’s now on track to get much bigger. Chobani opened a yogurt plant in Twin Falls in 2012 that it said (and still says) is the world’s largest. Now, with demand for yogurt products rising, the company wants to make even more. So it’s expanding the plant by half, adding jobs, and providing another boost to Idaho’s dairy industry.
