And now Middleton is going to take advantage of legislation that was meant to provide state funding to rural areas of Idaho that don't have the tax base to build school facilities, rather than communities that have money but don't want to pay anything, like Middleton.

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! 100% correct!
The two options here were to not shutdown the government 40 days ago or to shutdown the government and hold until the Republicans caved or killed the filibuster.
Instead, it’s the pain of a 40 day shutdown without anything substantial to show for it, which just pisses everyone off.

-ACA subsidies vote in Dec will amount to Nothing.
-Fed employees that'll be rehired, will simply be fired again.

Traffic inbound (East) on the Boise I-84 connector was at a total bumper-to-bumper standstill this evening. Traffic backed up for several miles. Took me an hour to drive home, usually a 15 min drive.
