I actually don’t mind BG. I think Dave’s a bit misguided from time to time, but no more so than the Statesman. And at least he says up front that his “news” will be “opinionated.”

Because I’ve hurled enough sludge at Sharon in this thread, I’ll take my momma’s advice and say nothing at all on that topic. Fortunately, the voters of Ada County are incredibly smart.

Way to go, Not Dave: You came up with only a negative. Is that the best you can do?

If we had a few thousand like the Guardian (ain’t never gonna happen, of course), we could throw the bums out and really work at shaping up the comish, council etc.

Still, as long as Guardian and a few others keep pushing on the electees to do their jobs, and even experiment with doing them legally and constitutionally, there will be at least some progress.
Now, if we could only remind them it’s governent of, by and ***for*** the people ….

Not Dave – Yes, isn’t it amazing what a positive effect the GUARDIAN has managed to have on the accountability of Boise City government, and perhaps to a lesser degree Ada County government, with something as relatively inexpensive (albeit time consuming for him) as a blog?! It’s just too bad more people aren’t out there who are willing to make the commitment to doing something like the GUARDIAN.

By the way, what have you done to improve local government lately?

HO boy. Just what we need. A cheap knockoff of a cheap… well… something just cheap.

I would have liked to have seen it be the “Canyon County ” Guardian, as there is plenty of fuel for the fire in NAMPA as well as Caldwell. Otherwise I will reserve judgment and wish it best of luck.

‘Tis said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

So congrats, Fraz: You’ve inspired someone else to pick up some two-by-fours and whop a few officials upside the head when they get too far out of line.
