What happened to the United States of America, the State of Idaho, Ada County and the City of Boise? Are the other cities in Ada County doing what Boise is doing? Are the other counties in Idaho doing what Ada County is doing? Are the other states in the USA doing what Idaho is doing? Are we in deep do do?

If the city politico’s can verify the city’s lobbyist point of view on this matter, then there is no point in this discussion. They were elected by the citizen’s to act/vote of their behalf. Were the all the meetings minutes research to find out if this ever came up in council meetings? Only 2 of 7 elected officials were asked about this topic.

If under further research the lobbyist was speaking for somebody else, then he must be reigned in. I too would like the chance to vote for how my taxes are spent. I think the urban renewal districts should be held accountable through a vote. CCDC should also have attainable goals to be reached. Eventually by doing their job, the sub-districts could be dissolved.

That’s idaho Politics folks, and has been for many years.Two Kushlan mouthpieces, paid for with tax-payers money, put the nix on electing the CCDC officials who spend and get rich with our money as the state legislature maintains the facade of accountability. City Hall seemed to want to be unaware of what was being pulled off.

Now isn’t it common -sense American to ELECT those officials who are spending voters money especially on urban renewal. I want the average Boisean to know that Phil Kushlan and buddies on CCDC and their well off developer friends ( BoDo was one project they pushed-half the fancy dan stores there are without customers whenever I walk by) DO NOT WANT THE VOTER to have any say in the massive building projects they’re pushin.

At the same time too many of our city hall politicians are looking the other way as this is pulled off.

The People of Boise want responsible government that is answerable to them when they spend our tax dollars. Phil Kushlan and developer friends is responsible to no one!
