Growth please bless this inflated tax (utility) bill I am about to pay.”
Methane farming in Boise. How wonderful. Since they seem bent to destroy the valley to build houses instead of growing food F.A.R.T. somehow seems to fit right in with Micron and H.P.
I think I remember when Idaho Power sold and exported a large percentage of the power generated here. I don’t think they bought much high priced out of state power in those days and our power bills truly were reasonable.
Guardian, I appreciate your humor. At some point with all these antics about all you can do is to shake your head and snicker.

The county gets $25,000 per year royalty from Barber Dam while the revenue generated by the dam ranges from $240,000 in a low water year to as much as $900,000 in a high water year.

ED NOTE–Bloggers have answers to most questions! This source seems like a good one.

The county is already in the power business. You might try finding out how much money they make from Barber Dam ( not Diversion). The county owns the dam and gets a % of revenues from the generation of power. Strange our taxes never go down with all of these money making deals.
