Jim, aka cyclops, I wouldn’t respond to you in any meaningful way if you called me a bunch of: “idiotic, self-serving, ignorant, non-responsive, arrogant, stupid, hypocritical,lying,cheating band of baboons.”, even though City Hall IS all of those things except baboons, I suppose.

EDITOR NOTE– Cyclops has been a problem in the past on the issue of name calling. We gave him a time out a while back and he said he realized he was offending the baboons in the zoo and promised to stop.

“What a bunch of idiotic, self-serving, ignorant, non-responsive, arrogant, stupid, hypocritical,lying,cheating band of baboons!! How dare you respond in this way to a citizen, much less one that is serving for us all. (including you jamokes at city hall) And then to try and “whitewash” your ineptness in the calls! Whoever made the statement to this man needs to be fired immediately! Then the mayor, reilly,euzel and about a half dozen other wasters of oxygen should get out of town! This makes me ashamed to be from Boise! And I never,ever, thought I would say that!”

This isn’t “sanitized”! It is soaked in bleach for at least a week!! There has GOT to be two versions of the hotline! It is inconceivable that the “sanitized” version would be forwarded to the individual departments. They wouldn’t have the faintest idea how to respond! Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the hotline has been “significantly altered” for public consumption!
SO MUCH FOR TRANSPARENCY!!!

I say we start a campaign to flood their hotline with BS calls until they offer full transcripts or MP3’s of the original calls. I don’t mind giving them a call and reading from a book for 20 minutes.

EDITOR NOTE–We certainly share your frustration, but your civil disobedience will only serve to tie up the line for others or force them to stop the hotline altogether.
Calls to city councilors who are also being shorted on information would be in order.

Of course, we’ll never know, since the Boise Guardian is “de-listed.”

re : accessible parking

In a nutshell…

Because the City and its Criminal Enterprise – the CCDC – are only going to provide those that the law requires.

Look at the parking structures built by entities such as St. Luke’s, St. Al’s, BSU, etc.

They are well lit, well maintained, have emergency call boxes, wide spaces, and ample handicapped accesible spaces that are conveniently placed.

Now, look at the ones built and operated by the City’s Plausible Deniability Factory – the CCDC…

All the appeal of Hitler’s Bunker, dim light, no emergency call boxes, tight/tiny spaces, inconveniently placed and minimal handicap accessible spaces.

In an administrative environment that eschews transparency and accountability, and has proven time and again that it believes it is beholden to no one.
