Glad to see the editorial pages across the state opposing these ammendments. It may be the only voter education that some see.

The amendments on the ballot will have no impact on sewer plants, library wings or police stations.

What we have and what we require has kept Idaho taxpayers debt free from those who would like to assume “GOLD CARD” status with our money and go into debt without our approvals.

Granting elected officials the right to go into debt by hocking public assests as collateral is just plain goofy. They ask and we decide. Time is not of the essence in any of this stuff. If it is a good deal then hold a bond election and ask our permission.

The other option is capital planning, save up the cash and they pay for it in full when they buy the stuff they want without our permission.
