Comments on: GUARDIAN News Briefs https://boiseguardian.com/2006/02/26/guardian-news-briefs/ A different slant on the news. Thu, 02 Mar 2006 19:21:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: john https://boiseguardian.com/2006/02/26/guardian-news-briefs/#comment-846 Thu, 02 Mar 2006 19:21:10 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/wp/?p=230#comment-846 I think I figured out how Kempthorn and the developers are going to help pay the debt for the new Emmett/Indian Valley freeway. It will cost so much money to maintain Highway 55, including removing snow on the Weiser Middle Fork Road over to Tamarack, they will want to abandon the highway at Banks since only a few people will use it getting to their cabins.
There will be a push (again) to dam the Payette and flood it back to Long Valley. With the growth in the Treasure Valley, developers will be screaming for more “cheap” hydro power and more flood control. Besides, only a few elite people (tree huggers) can float the North Fork. The fishing is no good anymore. No salmon or steelhead to get worked up about. Think about all the new lake front property to develop. Simplot tried it once. That canyon top property will be worth millions as lake front. The Chamber of Commerce will be promoting ,” The West’s newest lake front resort properties”, and use your tax dollars for advertising. Jobs, jobs jobs! Makes sense to me.

Margaret Henbest made my day when she said “are they closing it so the Tamarack people don’t have to look at the riff-raff in their tents and campers.” (Probably not an exact quote, but that is the idea.) I would hope there would be some investigation done before that plan is enacted, or is it already too late?

Today we learn that Big Money wants our liquor laws (as peculiar as they are) changed so that some celebrity tennis people can have a liquor license of their own. Anybody want to bet they will not get it?

A major ommission in the Statesman’s story is the law firm bringing the suit, Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins, is also the same firm involved in the civil suit against Enron.
