Mr. Rincover is a candidate for the Board of Ada County Commissioners. This is an election year. He has every right to express his oppositional views to those of his opponent and to use his freedom of speech rights, same as the rest of us. Should he be elected, he would then have the standing to question the state’s land grab that has removed taxable property from the county. Although funds for Allumbaugh House have been restored, the reverse was most likely due to the public and media outcry, plus Mr. Rincover’s chastisement of the county’s poor sportsmanship on this issue. The reversal came within days of Mr. Rincover’s published response.

For those of you who believe in term limits, here’s your opportunity to make good!

Best,

Every time I see a Nan Emouse comment I think of a time in the 4th grade when we were required to memorize a poem and recite it in front of the class. David stood up and announced his poem. The nun asked who wrote it. “Annnie Muss,” he announced. She was pretty unhappy when she figured out what he meant.

Sorry BG and friends, Rincover’s statement seems a little too high and mighty, a little too self serving, and well…not very genuine.

In short, political grandstanding on what ever topic happens to present itself.

In short, I really agree with nan emouse on this one. I would have been much more receptive to Rincovers message if he had been criticizing those actually responsible, instead of just roasting a person who happens to be his opponent in the upcoming.

My 0.2 cents worth.

Not saying what the state did was right or wrong. Just commenting on Rincover.

EDITOR NOTE–We do not endorse any candidates. We do provide the forum for debate and offered space to the Commishes and the issue of state in retail business. Rincover’s remarks were unsolicited.

There are 3 inherent problems with Commissioner/Mayor-Council govt.
1. This form of govt. by its structrue is inherently weak management.

2. Poor management of growth

3. Diminished administrative capacity to directly oversee day to day municipal and county operations.

We are moving closer to govt paralysis with each passing day. Elected officials draw their power from the electorate, conversely office management is vocation based on training and examination and should be administered by people with capacities derived through special learning.

So if you really want to have some fun… why don’t you look to see who might be getting a sweet deal on their unit’s rent at the government owned storage facility.

Thanks to The Guardian for actually guarding the citizens of Idaho by researching and presenting facts we need to know.
Ada County Commissioners are simply a knockoff of the State House, poorly ran and corrupt.
Get a map of Boise and Canyon counties, look at the major city blocks that are Government owned or have received tax exempt status.
There is no benefit for taxpayers in the spread out, prime locations that produce no payback to the cities that provide services to them.
Vote and make sure your family and friends vote.
I have chosen Larry Rincover for County Commissioner, Keith Allred for Gov. and Tom Sullivan for Senate. And a NO on HJR0004!
Thanks again Mr. Frazier for all you do for Boise.

It really is time to get past the party tags and start voting for people with original thoughts and ideas about how best to conduct city can county business in the best manner possible.

I am old enough to remember when elections were over people closed ranks and really did try to get stuff done. Now all we have is the two extreme ends of political parties stonewalling, stalling, and wasting time, money and resources at the expense of taxpayers.

I for one am getting more than a little bit tired this MO. I am going to support Kemp for Gov. and Tom Sullivan for Senate.

While slightly off topic, in terms of the State having an unfair tax advantage over the private sector which is in a Deep Funk, what about Buy Idaho?

Yeah, like Idaho Power. Ever notice all the Power Bills are sent from !!! Seattle, Washington!?! Why doesn’t Idaho Power locate their bill payment center in Idaho??? Perhaps they could lease some ‘cheap’ commercial space from their ‘friends’ in State Government, that are conveniently positioned in the Commercial Real Estate Leasing Business. Hmmm … State owned Businesses … sounds so very Soviet, Nyet? Idaho – the only State named after a Power Company.
