					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s the year of the fee folks--Increased fines, stormwater fees, franchise fees, right-of way fees--While we as idividuals hate these increases think what effect it is having on every buisness and industry. A sly form of double taxation and truly anti-buisness]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Franchise fee? Bu!!sh!t I say.  Since when is Idaho Power, Intermountain Gas, Qwest (or whatever it is they call themselves these days) a franchise.

They are raising property taxes on people who heat their homes, use electricity and telephones(don&#039;t forget the 911 fees for endless and mindless upgrades of 911 systems)

I say let growth pay its way or go somewhere else.  All the freebies and handouts to developers has got to stop  . We&#039;re all broke and those who had money now have a whole lot less with the real estate bust, bank bust, stock market bust. 

I feel like a fool for even trying to save money for retirement. my defined retirement was dismantled in the 1980&#039;s and replaced with a 401K now worth pennies on the dollar.  I now expect the govt. will devalue the dollar to pay all the debt off.  When does all this stop and people start to take control of the fools and idiots we have in power.  Wall Street and the Bankers are all still in their Brooks Brothers suits and Gucci loafers.  I have yet to see any of these crooks going to prison for what they have done to this country.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Great! Boise can use the extra bucks as a down payment for the &quot;Choo-Choo&quot;. Nampa has finally learned that the way around the voter is to &quot;sock&quot; away enough tax payer dollars until you don&#039;t need to go to the voter for some silly project that no sensible human being would ever condone. What a country!!!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Too bad cities don&#039;t have to justify this rate increase to the PUC.  They raise this tax and all ratepayers are stuck with the new increases with no discussion or public input.  They collect these fees for every utility as well as street lighting where I live.

The street lighting one is particularly irksome as every household pays $2.33 each month.  This fee goes way beyond maintenance costs for the street light and electricity costs.]]></description>
