As another Idaho native exiled in NM, I feel your pain. I miss public officials and voters who aren't afraid to follow their ethics and conscience.
As a New Mexican who just moved to Idaho last year, I can feel your pain.
The lack of political scandals in Idaho compared to New Mexico (Larry Craig’s tapdancing notwithstanding), is refreshing.
I can’t say as much about the air quality, what with all the forest fires around here. :^)
If and when you move back here, bring some Big Jim chiles with you.
