And, of course, the Idaho Spaceman doesn’t seem to notice such things at all until The Guardian or a TV station or somesuch raises enough cain to wake them up.

Keep it up, Guardian, we need you!!!

The commissioners, the mayor, who ever, always respond quickly when they hear the press or the police coming, especially if it entails blaming a subordinate.

Let me know when they personally do something of merit, like telling us the real deal on the courthouse financing scheme, allowing people to vote on a bond issue, codify a comp plan, or deny a developer’s application to pave the foothills.

EDITOR NOTE–In this case the county attorney wouldn’t respond to the juvenile department or the GUARDIAN. Commishes did a good job on this one.

Grumpy, but smiling.

It’s their job to make sure this doesn’t happen in the first place. It doesn’t say much when the Ada county culture leads administrators to believe something like this is A-OK.

I understand there’s a lot of sympathy for forcing miscreants to some good ol’ fashioned hard work. But don’t expect me to be thrilled if my competitor gets access to free labor.

What a deal. No worker’s comp premiums, no benefit issues, no HR hassles and NO PAYROLL.

If only the Commissioners would show this sort of resolve in other obviously flawed matters that come before them. Fellows, it’s time to turn over a new leaf if you have any hope of restoring the public trust before the next election.
