The Idaho two party system:

Those who PARTY,
and those not invited but expected to pay for it.

Well said Clancy… No matter which party is in charge, they are corrupt.

I am sick of the one-party argument. BG cites 3 examples from the city of Boise, which clearly is a 2 party city. Both parties are guilty of not serving in the best interest of their constituents. Straight shooting politicians are few and far between.

Carrie, (can I call you Carrie, because I am going to say silly things about you)?
What in the hell’s canyon are you talking about? When was the last time you heard of a KKK meeting in Idaho! Sure, there’s that idiot up north, but he is one jerk! I find the vast majority of Idahoans to be much more understanding, and smarter then you!
JUST WHO DO WANT TO HAVE KILLED??
Your “vigilantes” should go after who? Anyone you decide is a “redneck”? Just what is a redneck? Someone who can’t justify paying $6 Bucks for a cup of coffee? Someone who couldn’t care less who’s name is on their britches as long as they are comfortable? Someone who would rather take a Saturday afternoon to go fishing with the family instead of playing golf with the neighbors? And you want US to go to Russia? I got a better idea. Why don’t you pack up and head back to Manhatten, cuz your never gonna be happy here CUZ!

I think what’s so disheartening is many government agencies reliance on the technicalities of the open records law rather than the spirit of the law.

After all, the taxpayers have already paid for the information and the culture should be one of how do we get the most info to the people in the easiest way rather than what can we hide from them. The latter is the technical part of the law, the former is the spirit.

Maybe this report will be a wake up call. Hopefully some change will come to ACHD. At least I’ll try.

You mean we don’t get high marks for closed door legistative meetings by our republican deciders, poor responses to public records requests, abuse of executive sessions by local elected officials and a general lack of tranparency?

An Attorney General who turns a blind eye to all this junk by claiming he is powerless to enforce laws and bad behavior of the State and local officials is also a problem.

How could an outside outfit do this to us? We should have been rated dead last!

I would like to know why Idaho like many other states allow, in their communities ignorance like the KKK to disrupt our democracy with terrorism they are no different than those who bombed New York on 9/11. Can we even trust the CIA and FBI to protect our president. I wish we did have vigilantists I am sick of the uneducated redneck rhetoric in this country you know what take your guns and move to Russia or where ever you can find your communistic buddies. No offense to China in anyway.

I hope no one is surprised. We are a one party State. Seems anytime one group is in charge for a long long time they become dishonest. Idaho’s a prime example.
