Any state legislator who pleads ignorance with virtually anything Bieter and crew do is trying to lie to themselves or us. Either way, they need to be held accountable!

Rep Moyle has got it right; in reference to “Mr. Moyle inserts himself into Boise’s affairs”, remember “all politics is local”. HJR 5 is flawed and I am unconcerened with who sticks their nose into the issue as long as it is vetted completely. I can only hope the local media will run some strong debate pieces as we get closer to ballot time..

Mike Moyle is intellectually dishonest. The proposed amendment hasn’t been modified since he initially cast his vote. For him to change his position simply based on the City of Boise’s educational campaign is petty and deceitful.

Most of the comments above are off-topic. Obama? China? Micron? Tea?

The point is – we need to vote NO on HJR 5, and convince our friends and neighbors to also vote NO.

I just love it how Mr. Moyle inserts himself into Boise’s affairs without any qualms, yet when the Federal Gummint tries to do that to Idaho he squeals like a stuck pig about “states rights”.

“No doubt we will see some quibbling over whether we are democracy or republic and the following politicos will begin to scramble with explanations about their intent.”

A republic is, by definition, a representative democracy (as opposed to a direct democracy). We can have democracy without a republic, but not vice versa. A Chevy is still an automobile, even if it is the only make you’ll drive.

Moyle will do whatever is expedient for his career and say pretty much anything to satisfy the person with whom he is speaking at the moment. Thought he was different but that is what I have seen first hand. There’s a difference between changing your mind based on new information and posturing for election.

I am proud of Mike for realizing that he and others are being played as fools by local governments. The local governments are unashamed about the bait and switch game they play and more legislators need to follow Mike’s example.

I think he’s still in favor of it. He just needs to smell better after voting for it. Still think you can stop it with an injunction due to “missleading” statements presented to voters on voting day. This bill is like the dogs letting themselves out of the cage. Sky is the limit now, just like Cali

Me thinks the flavor of tea will soon emerge on this one.

Perhaps Idaho politicos need to take a lesson from China instead of just visiting all the Micron facilities full of ex-Idaho jobs. Read this:
