Haven’t we all learned that the whole UR process is a sieve that only drains in one direction?

Their decisions are final and not subject to any voter approvals yet they get away with spending millions and millions of property tax dollars, make everyone’s property taxes go higher and corruption abounds in the way they hand out public money to developers who would normally have to pay their way. They also create false values for otherwise junk property.

UR projects would never pass muster with voters. Hence, the legislature keeps us out of the picture on UR allocation of funds and debts created by UR districts. Yet we taxpayers are forced to pay the bills.

It is just a fund for unelected individuals to spend hard earned tax money on their pet, uneconomical projects. Caldwell mayor get free family pass to YMCA.
