Comments on: Mapp Gone–Almost https://boiseguardian.com/2006/01/04/mapp-gone-almost/ A different slant on the news. Thu, 05 Jan 2006 21:24:15 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Gary https://boiseguardian.com/2006/01/04/mapp-gone-almost/#comment-638 Thu, 05 Jan 2006 21:24:15 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/wp/?p=196#comment-638 The CCDC is nothing more than an extension of the City Council and serves as another method for them to spend money and broker power that extends their “kingdom”.

At the very least there should be no more than one City Council person on the CCDC board at one time and they should serve no more than one year. Once they leave office they are off the CCDC.

If the Mayor is as concerned about “ethics” as he says he is he would ask for Mapps’ resignation asap. And then modify the CCDC board rules.

I have $100 that says he is too chicken to even bring it up.

It is like letting convicts guard the prison.

The board of the urban renewal agency (CCDC) is only one. Same as Forney. There are special citizens (elitists) and then there are the rest of us.

What is the correlation between taxpayer dollars and voter dollars?

If the city council had any guts they would DISBAND the urban renewal agency board and have the council perform those duties with the simple passage of an ordinance. But they don’t so they won’t.

I think that the CCDC, Boise City, and Ada County Highway District are 3 of a kind. We citizens, voters and taxpayers need to kick them out of the game with a full house because all 3 receive federal funds. Get the feds to investigate all 3.
