Then there is the great “Five Point Plan,” what a joke. Even Vern doesn’t agree with the five points. He mentions that two of them he has problems with. So who’s five point plan is it? I am also amazed at how lame the great five point plan really is. They are all five feel good points, but I am amazed at how two former commissioners can be that stupid. Most of their points the commissioners don’t actually have control over.

I also find it very amusing that Roger has “grown up” and can now miraculously work with others. He is the one that is out there touting that the county needs to work better with the other cities, but he himself doesn’t play well with others. Please do not be conned into thinking Roger is this great guy that is open minded and will work well with others just because is babysits the neighbors dogs. It is obvious that most of you on here don’t remember the nasty days of Roger on the commission. ADA County was actually the laughing stock of the State due to the “Five Point Plan” man.

I am also very intrigued that Roger can’t run on his own merits, especially for as long as he was in office. Instead he is running on his opponents past. I received his mailer and started laughing when I saw the he is claiming the Rick inherited his businesses. Is that what it is called now when you buy a company? Is this really who we want at the helm of the county? I also thought it was ironic that Roger gave himself a bigger raise in the time he was in office but is out there professing to the world how much the commissioners make now.

Then there is the five member commission. That is the worst idea I have heard in a long time. Even Vern doesn’t think it is a good idea. I am just floored out at how some of you can even think about voting for Roger or Vern!

It seems clear to me that all the current commissioners have used the office for their own personal aggrandizement whether its for the salary, the benefits or to launch a bid for higher office. Throw the bums out. I like the idea of voting for a couple guys out to make their jobs obsolete.

I would be willing to bet we could find out who owns the place in a big hurry.

Mr. Thomson is a sitting Boise City Councilman. How about a little respect for his honest views. I repect your views, though I disagree with them on this issue. In time, you will see that Vern and Roger are the right men in the R-primary for the commish races, no matter your personal opinion of them or their past mistakes. In the end, it all comes out in the wash, as the saying goes. Have a super day!

As our Valley faces difficult times, our County needs leadership and know-how from Roger and Vern more than ever to strengthen our communities. Their experience is unparalleled and their commitment to improving the lives of Ada County citizens is unquestionable.

EDITOR NOTE–Frustrated, you need to include the Guv, Senator, Congressmen, and every other incumbent as well. We don’t like it either, but that’s the way it is.
