So who was the lawyer who advised GBAD on the issue? So I can’t put them on my do not use list.

@Karen Ragland,

Not only does Judy Peavey-Derr’s running for the ID leg create chills up the spine– worse: she will run against one of the most intelligent, most ethical, and most well-informed senators in that ordinarily ridiculous body: Sen Eliot Werk.
He is one of the few in the ID Leg. with moxie and ethics. She should be roundly defeated in this attempt on his job.

Isn’t it time for GBAD to just go away?

Having lived in Boise all my life amd remember when the auditorium dist. was formed, it does not surprise me that the GBAD has evolved to another situation that would melt in the sunlight. As city tazpayers we had better learn to pony up the money and be quiet. Of course my last sentence was tongue in cheek but the citizens of Boise had better wake up soon. It scares the crap out of me if Judy Peavy-Derr should be elected to a State Legislator position as the secretive decisions would only move up a notch. A stand must be taken and soon or just be quiet and pay your taxes.

let me get this right…GBAD cut funding to a group that provides over $45mil to the local economy because it was illegal (but now it’s not per the attorney for GBAD)…refuse to provide the group bookings from the Boise Centre…deciding to close down the ONLY convention center we have in Boise to open a Performing Arts Center…members suing each other…their meetings STILL are not allowing public comments…each and every member as dysfunctional as you will find (even in social settings) anywhere…collecting a 5% tax from OUR visitors and spending it on study after study…and now putting Mr. Perez (GBAD nominee) in a very awkward position (he is a banker with bond knowledge)…WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR US (Joe Public) TO SAY “DISBAND THE DISTRICT!” That SULLI and SHMADER guy may not be so crazy after all…maybe we are?

Ah Judy Peavey-Derr, queen of the non-transparent government.

Remember when she cost the taxpayers of Ada County only $36,000ish for her intransigence on the not open meeting with Vern Bisterfeldt? Could these be another of those sub rosa meetings where they make decisions in secret thus violating the open meeting law?

EDITOR NOTE–She directed the GUARDIAN to the paid staffer for ALL the names, but declined to offer the apparent favored name, saying it might change.
