Inland Journal for June 21, 2018

    ?    For the last month or so, advocates for poor people nationwide have reprised Dr. Martin Luther King’s Poor People’s Campaign. This week we talk with local activists who have worked to call attention to the plight of people in poverty.
    ?    Now that the state of Idaho has its first medical school, we talk with a state senator who wants the Gem State to take the next step and increase the number of places where medical school graduates can continue their training.
    ?    Wildland firefighters are training this week in Deer Park before they’re sent out to fires around the region. We’ll learn more about that.
    ?    And we’ll look at how drought this early in the summer is affecting the way cattlemen in eastern Oregon are operating their ranches.
