Is there anyway we can lock the door so they cannot get back into Boise if they leave? Might be beneficial.

Which group/office/agency/board is planning this?

If it saves money and allows the prima donnas to focus long enough to do their jobs, for $300, or 1/15 the cost of any traveling retreat, (whichever is greater.) I will take 2 days of personal leave from my own full time job to act as Receptionist/Sergeant WITH Arms, confiscate all participants cell phones, take messages on all hard lines and guard the doors of any meetings…

Now we just need some tar, feathers and a rail or two, the day before they leave for Tamarack.
Or maybe we should set up some checkpoints to make sure they don’t return to town.

Been reading about the reason Texas is supposed to be doing so well in this recession. Low pay for workers, no payroll taxes, and incentives for business to locate in Texas.

Medtronic is reported to have looked at over 900 locations all over the US before they decided on Texas. Cheap labor, cheap housing, no payroll taxes along with other incentives.

I hate seeing people used as underpaid lackeys but low wages and no payroll taxes may offset on another.
