Diane Ayres
S. Garden Pl.
Boise, ID
ISSUE: Concern about the city’s financial situation and the misuse of funds at Parks and Rec.
The root of the problem is management. She is sure the problem is in every area of city
government, not just Parks and Rec.

Partha Inderson
Cab driver and
President of Taxi Driver’s Assoc. in Idaho
It’s very bad at the airport; they give 30-40 days punishment – jobless situation. Now the cops
are giving tickets for stopping at $80-$85 when it used to be $40. He has talked to Mike O’Dell
but nothing changes.

Deb Matthews

Boise, ID 83712
ISSUE: Spraying in the foothills by Warm Springs Mesa. She walks up in the foothills on a
regular basis and also lives close to where the spray would be taking place. She isn’t aware of
any public notification and doesn’t think chemicals should be used if they don’t know how
humans will respond.
