Sharon Ullman, one of our last honest and very representative commissioners points out in the above article the recent mis-use ,waste of 70 million dollars of Ada County taxpayers hard earned dollars. We all yearn for the days ,Sharon when you will be back on the Ada County Commission ( I see it in my crystal ball) but more important, every citizen of Boise and Ada County is tired of the political crooks that you had the courage to challenge and that you were exposed to some very unfair treatment because of this.When I watched the obnoxious behavior of some of those other Count Commissioners ( when you were in office) towards you I found it hard to believe.They were reacting that way simply because you were standing up for the truth and were willing to get that truth to the People. We need many political representatives like you,Sharon,but right now in boise and Ada county it likes like most politicians hide what their doing from the People as they use taxpayer’s money to enrich themselves while turing Boise and Ada county and boise into a scene of urban blight.

I have e-mailed commissioners several times over the years and have never received a response from them. Not once. I was always polite, but direct.

Regarding Barber Park: Consider this anecdote to be a microcosm.

I was there early the other day with some out-of-towners to take them on their first Boise River float. The rental shop wasn’t open, it doesn’t open ’til noon on weekdays and 11AM on weekends. Talk about banker’s hours. I guess Ada Parks and Rec knows better than me about how to dictate, I mean run the rafting business.

Fortunately, all of us fit in my big raft, rather than having to wait 2 hours for the rental shop to open.
