Comments on: Defense For The Prosecution https://boiseguardian.com/2005/07/21/defense-for-the-prosecution/ A different slant on the news. Thu, 28 Jul 2005 04:23:35 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Sharon Ullman https://boiseguardian.com/2005/07/21/defense-for-the-prosecution/#comment-73 Thu, 28 Jul 2005 04:23:35 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/wp/?p=64#comment-73 In response to Pat: The current Ada County Commissioners had to pass a resolution in order to approve the hiring of outside counsel (spending our tax dollars) to represent the county Prosecuting Attorney, Greg Bower, and the head of his Civil Division, Ted Argyle. You can see a copy of this resolution if you go to their June 28, 2005 agenda on the Ada County website and click on the link to the resolution. Greg Bower and Ted Argyle helped orchestrate the unconstitutional property purchase for the Courthouse Corridor Project and the unconstitutional lease purchase agreement for the new Ada County Courthouse. A few of the other key players in these deals were former Ada County Commissioners Vern Bisterfeldt, Roger Simmons, Frank Walker, etc. Former and current commissioner Judy Peavey-Derr was instrumental in the whole courthouse financing scheme – in fact, she even chaired the committee that chose the developer for the whole project up to and including the University Place disaster. Since the University Place investigation is being done by an attorney from OUTSIDE of Idaho, it will be interesting to see how many of these people end up indicted for their involvement in the Courthouse Corridor/University Place debacle. I have talked with Dan Popkey on several occasions to try to get him to re-open his investigation to cover the University Place prelude, the Courthouse project, but so far he has chosen not to do so. The information on the freemarketduck website is outstanding and I applaud its author for having the courage and taking the time to do the complete investigation and for writing the explosive expose.

Maybe Dan Popkey should resume digging on this – Please. Please let us know what role our Commisioners played in this.

Ed note: we are just one reporter/editor/computer guy. Take a look at http://www.Free Market Duck which is in our links at the right of the page–he is writing a book on it!!

The University Place, Courthouse, and the land beneath, are in question. When all of this unfolds some of Idaho’s most priviledged will/should fall. I am disgusted that this event has taken place in my state. Many individuals deserve to fall because of this issue. I look forward to seeing it happen. Idaho needs to set an example for white collar crime in our state.
