TENSED, ID - DECEMBER 15: A 14-passenger Citylink bus travels down Highway 95 on the Coeur d' Alene Indian Reservation, December 15, 2005 north of Tensed, Idaho. Citylink is the result of a $1.38 million grant from the U.S. Federal Transit Authority to Kootenai County, Idaho and $1.38 million in matching funds from the Coeur d' Alene Tribe to provide free public transportation to rural Kootenai and western Benewah Counties, with a link route from the reservation to service Coeur d' Alene, Hayden, and Post Falls, Idaho. In operation since November, Citylink offers 23 stops with 5 buses operating 20 hours per day, seven days per week. The service will continue until 2008 with current funding. .(Photo by Jeff T.

Why conservatives from Southern California are flocking to Northern Idaho

It may come as no surprise that Idaho is one of the reddest states in the country, or that a county in northern Idaho has become perhaps the reddest county in the country. One of the reasons for that deep red hue is an influx of conservatives from Southern California.

Sierra Crane-Murdoch, who reported on this migratory pattern for the High Country News, joins the show with more.
