Very eloquent KTA! More simply, I hope the plaques say, “We will own any type of property, or business, we feel like and you common people can stick it where the sun don’t shine”!!! This approaches a level of arrogance that is insane!!

Idaho is a feudal, corrupt state. We like it. We like Republicans. We like what is ours.

To the pharoahs of the Idaho Land Board who would deign to spend $85,000 to proclaim ownership instead of using the money for the purpose for which it is intended, I offer these words of old:

Ozymandias
By Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away”.

A bronze plaque on Affordable Self-Storage? Come on, Land Board, get real. You’ve been given another mandate by Idaho voters to work on the economy and jobs. Please do it right! PR is not the way to solve our problems, nor are conflicts of interest whether declared or not. Ditch this effort and keep the money in the fund.

Sincerely,

KTA
