Say, Dave, I love that hat… I just think many of our local and state politico’s would look a lot better in it!!Or maybe they could wear one of those long grey overcoats ,with a tri-corn military hat and keep one of their arms tucked inside the coat… they would’nt even need a white horse!!!

Guardian – straw is a good choice, because it tends to stretch a bit, with the swelling and shrinking of your head. (I STILL say Mr. Shealy has a lot of nerve to publicly accuse somebody ELSE of having a big head!)

Why not have expert private-enterprise lease the land from the city for 50 years, and construct a parking garage, and make a lot of money on it… if it’s economically viable? Is there a compelling reason why the city needs to own and operate the garage?

EDITOR–Steve, you make a very good point. That is how Fed-X, Executive Air, and the other hangar owners do it…and they pay taxes to the city, county, schools, ACHD.

Over the top? Maybe a tad bit, yes. I concede that much.

However, as I am sure some insiders who visit this site will surely agree, there are plenty of other expamples of “working around” percolating at City Hall.

Time will be the ultimate test. We shall see…

EDITOR NOTE–Ferris is probably pretty close to the mark. We have word the Association of Idaho Cities is pushing for a “rehearing” of the Supremes opinion. We will have details later Monday.

Ferris, you are over the top. The fact that the City Council and Airport Commission are now going to the voters demonstrates they have listened to the Justices and they are NOT looking for a work-around like the Coles bunch would. There is no reason to be a sore winner.

A bond election for a parking garage strikes me as one of the more prosaic issues we will ever see. Personally I might vote no because I would rather see the Boise Airport use their excess revenues to subsidize a robust mass transit service from the Airport to points downtown, BSU and other locations in the city.

Guardian gets deserved props for prevailing in the litigation, but his Photoshop skills are evidently lacking. Please talk to your attorneys and see if they will dontate funds from the attorneys fees for you to get some training on that software!

Dave, I hope ALL of your readers are paying attention! One person CAN make a difference!

The current administration of the city has devolved into just another version of the Coles administration. The cast has changed, but the dirty tricks are the same.

Let’s all work together and demand accountability in government from dogcatcher to governor.

That is truly the gawd-awfullest picture I have ever seen, Guardian. What were you thinking? Did I miss some subtle point you were making in the article? Oh, perhaps it was the hat size reference. Whew. Treva

Thank you Dave! You are a monkey wrench in the gears of the malignant theocracy and what “they” call “progress.” I admire ya for it!

P.S. Glad you are getting your lawdog’s fees reimbursed too. God forbid I ever need to have business done to me by another lawyer but if I do I’ll be contacting you off line for his moniker.
