Union? In Boise, Idaho? Oh, that’s right… these Union Members have guns and badges.

I don’t know about all that union stuff… but one thing I DO know… I DON’T WANT TO DRINK CYANIDE WATER!!!

I know city elections are “non-partisan” (nudge-nudge, wink-wink), but it looks like Team Dave is gearing up to run on a “No Cyanide In Our Water” platform!

How does that Jim Tibbs fella feel about mining-water from upstream? How about Murphy? (If they keep silent, it’s maybe because they’re getting big campaign contributions from gold mining fat-cats!)

(Hahahaha. I’m just being sarcastic. Who’s NOT against pollution from upstream? What a joke! And how courageous is it to make a bold declaration?!! I bet Team Dave is against smog, too!)

Good grief!! The mayor and council can’t seem to fix the problem with the police? Give them a raise and stop messing with them!! I bet it would be a differant story if the politicians got spit on and shot at!! By the way, how much did it cost to mail all the letters? Thats MY money your tossing down the drain. No raise, NO VOTE! Now get back to work.

This is just another status quo act by King Dave. “Hear Ye Hear Ye Boise Police Union. You are lucky to work here, and you’ll take what I give you and like it.” Meantime, BPD loses candidates to Nampa, Meridian, and ISP because the pay is higher. Nampa’s mayor actually seems to like his cops, unlike King Dave the Contemptor. Thanks Sheriff Raney for going to bat for our County Deputies! You got them the highest paid in the state! Finally Ada County is paid almost as much as they are worth.

In what looks like an apparent attempt by the Boise City administration or the Mayor of interfering in the union/employee relationship, it seems as they have only strengthened the resolve of that membership and that very relationship. It appears that the mayor is very shortsighted or solicits that kind of advice from his advisors. It really appears that we need some changes here in the next election.

I read a few of the comments from various members of the BPD on the Mayor’s ( and Council’s) letter (to their Homes )that trys to evade Union leadership. I’ve lived here 8 years and I have never seen so many small-time arrogant political crooks in one town ,from our Congressional delegation all the way down to City Hall.The Police do a fine job; if you don’t think so,try living in the average American city for a while and see how long it takes for you to get mugged or burglarized.I really resent,as a Citizen, the high-handed behavior that the Mayor has shown here because it undermines the safety of all Citizens by trying to coerce the UNION organization of the BPD. Mayor Bieter, you and the dumb self-importants you appoint to supervisory positions are one termers and that is GOOD for the People of Boiase! By the way,work UNION, and create a strong America!
