The museum will open in two weeks at its new McEuen Park location with a grand opening weekend featuring a donor reception and giveaways. Coeur d'Alene Press

- ➤ The Idaho House passed an additional portion of the state Medicaid budget on Wednesday and sent nearly $674.2 million in funding to Gov. Little for his final review.
