Oh goody! The taxpayers of Boise, Meridian and Garden City get to pay for legal fees to settle another lawsuit. Not to mention Ada County legal fees for the parties involved. This brings to mind the lawsuit between Settlers Irrigation Dist. and ACHD. No matter what happens WE PAY for it. Carry on public servants. sigh

bieter, not the Guardian! If I were referring to the Guardian, I would use “caps”!

If Boise has to pay these amounts it leaves less for the Mayor and Council to “play with” in regard to their pet projects…..and look for your levy amounts to go up again. So much for any fiscal conservatism in Boise.

“All tolled, the magistrate court costs $6.6 million a year to operate according to court records.”
Guardian, I think you meant “told,” but tolled makes a nice pun under the circumstances 🙂

EDITOR NOTE–I meant what I said, but what I said wasn’t actually proper, although it was correct. “Tolled” as in added up rather than explained or disclosed. Pun intended.

If the cities receive the revenue from the courts then they need to pay up for the costs of court operations in proportion to the numbers of cases they have.

As far as I am concerned they need to pay for the jail operations in direct porportion to the numbers of inmates housed in the county jail.
