And while the choices may not be great, there is, at least, the possibility the tyranny of the current crew could be broken up.

In fact they want to see it go away or at least have NO power or influence.

Our city “leaders” (a term that might better be city dictators) want anything historical to go away. Everything must be URBAN.

They want to convert the train depot into train and bus stop for a transportation idea that will never work. They want infill everywhere, including the historical north end and rim areas -regardless of the effects on the neighborhoods or the history of what makes Boise the special place that it is …… or used to be.

A $5,000 federal grant would no doubt come with all the strings attached courtesy the National Park Service. Would the $5,000 grant require the city match it with local funds? If so, how much? There may be other limitations on the use of the funds that do not align with city priorities. You might want to look into that first before you simply conclude the city failed to respond to an offer of funds. Otherwise, it’s hard to get excited about $5,000.

I had great hopes for the new administration – however I am starting to see some similarities between the Bieter and Coles administrations and the Bush and Clinton administrations – we thought the first one wasn’t too good until we got the second one.
