Blake Hall goes to jail

By banjomike

Blake Hall, former Repub bigshot from Idaho Falls, was sentenced yesterday after earlier pleading guilty to a stalking charge.

Ex-girlfriend issued 1-year protective order from RNC member Blake Hall

By Serephin

CAT fund millions short

Blake Hall, administrator of the state Catastrophic Fund, which helps counties cover medical costs for indigents by covering the bills beyond $10,000 per case, told the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee this morning that the fund is $2.5 million short for the rest of this fiscal year, and $10 million short for next year's anticipated costs under the governor's budget recommendation. Gov. Butch Otter has discussed raising counties' deductibles from $10,000 to $15,000 or making other changes to the program, but counties are short of funds, too.
