https://boiseguardian.com/2005/08/24/for-you-library-types/ A different slant on the news. Thu, 25 Aug 2005 15:27:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 https://boiseguardian.com/2005/08/24/for-you-library-types/#comment-98 Thu, 25 Aug 2005 15:27:24 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/wp/?p=84#comment-98 I agree that taxpayers are in no mood to approve bonds when plans appear to be extravagant. If lattes are desired, we have several book stores already available. Not necessarily my sentiment, but surely that of many I have spoken to. I would add that the Boise Police Department at one time had a plan for purchasing and remodeling the old Ada Court facility on Barrister. It would have allowed plenty of room for a growing dept. with growing needs. Alas, it was not “grand” enough to suit the powers at the time. The plan was kept quiet from the public and ultimately scrapped. Ada County Sheriff now utilizes the space. Sometimes a conservative bird in the hand is truly better than grandeur in the bush. Counting on judicial confirmation left them out in the cold. Bet they wish they’d done it different now.
