Comments on: Mayor Hotline August 8 to 14 https://boiseguardian.com/2009/08/18/mayor-hotline-august-8-to-14/ A different slant on the news. Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:53:32 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Clancy https://boiseguardian.com/2009/08/18/mayor-hotline-august-8-to-14/#comment-14234 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:53:32 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/?p=3249#comment-14234 Lucas, There are two reasons that the North and East Ends get the preferential treatment. I am not stating this is fair, but that the way it is.

First, the North & East Ends have well organized neighborhood groups lobbying for their residents.

Second, look at the density and property values and the way it relates to tax collections. More taxes/acre are collected in these areas.

Just something else to ponder in your quest for elected office.

It’s comforting to know that the Northend is on the tail end of the delivery schedule. So often the tail is wagging the dog! For example, $519,000 in stimulus money for Northeast Downtown Sidewalks. The rest of Boise needs some attention too!

Curb-IT continues to receive complaints. Everyone will be glad to know that the Northend did not get preferential treatment. I don’ t receive my cans until next week.
