There are about 14 expressions I wanted to write about this, but all of them pretty much convey incredulous disbelief and a small measure of disgust…

Really??? This will no doubt turn up as a Satruday Night Live skit….”janitor holds lives in his hands in Boise Idaho”. Give me a break.

Maybe somebody should be looking into the other contracts that Boise has with ABM Industries. One subsidiary is AMPCO Parking that runs the airport parking garages. http://www.abm.com/locator/pages/default.aspx

“Meanwhile the City entered into a one year contract with a New York-based firm for cleaning services at city facilities”

and how often does the city encourage local business development, the city does well at telling others what they should be doing but the city can not live by their own advice.

EDITOR NOTE–Don’t forget the NY firm has a, “Significant local (Idaho) presence.”
