Comments on: Team Dave To Get Handler https://boiseguardian.com/2007/11/29/team-dave-to-get-handler/ A different slant on the news. Tue, 04 Dec 2007 17:30:57 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Rod in SE Boise https://boiseguardian.com/2007/11/29/team-dave-to-get-handler/#comment-6946 Tue, 04 Dec 2007 17:30:57 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/wp/?p=794#comment-6946 You should all know that 100% of those who voted in the recent Boise City elections for Mayor and several City Council members, voted FOR more growth (and in particular for wide-open, un-restricted growth), regardless of who (or whom) they voted for. In other words, the voters were not offered any choice.

The population of Boise and the surrounding area will continue to grow, the budget and size of city government will continue to grow, and your property taxes will continue to increase. And if the elitist governing class has its way, your sales tax will continue to increase (in the form of a local option sales tax for mass transit). And the voters were not offered any choice at all, so there is nothing we can do about it.

Looking forward to 4 more years of Team Dave in action. I’m sure it will be a weekly horror show!

I guess it’s not much of a stretch to pay someone to talk to help them talk to each other. “My people will call your people.”

If it wasn’t so sad it would be funny.

Now, instead of the legislature kinda smiling at Beiter and telling him ” we’ll get back to you”, they can look at Mr. Hill and tell him “go tell your boss to pound sand!!”
Damn! I am glad I supported Tibbs!!

more houses, more city goverment.
interesting how the city has the money for these
positions.

Isn’t that the reason pols and various execs hire assistants?
