Comments on: Paper: IHA “Not Straight With Voters” https://boiseguardian.com/2010/10/02/paper-iha-not-straight-with-voters/ A different slant on the news.

You are correct it has nothing to do with the feds and Washington.

It is simply an effort to get around a vote of the people to go into debt. They are simply using the angst against Obama to try to get voters to fall for the false story that hospitals need a constituional change to better serve citizens of Idaho.

It is simply a poor way to give a false impression to voters to get them to fall for the need to amend the constitution.

I hope all Idahoans understand is that THERE IS NO NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING in the Constitution. Our founders were VERY SMART and understood even then that state and local governments cannot keep their hands out of the wallets of the citizens. And they VERY WISELY set a high mark for the VOTERS to meet to allow governments to BIND themseves and the voters with debt.

Please vote NO and do not allow any changes to the only thing that PROTECTS us from the sneaky government officials that have a never satisfied appitite for our money….whether they call it fees or taxes it is still our money they want.

HJR4 has NOTHING to do with “Washington” or health care reform. They are LYING!!

If it were me, the last thing I would allow to happen is to assume the debt for the spending spree! Are there any assurances that won’t happen?
