Maybe someone should investigate what (if anything) Dynamis promised to Tillman, Ullman & Yzaguirre. It seems they really wanted this to go through with no oversite and tried to hide any information on what was going on.

I agree with Buster – get over it Sharon – you lost (again)

Nuff Said–apparently you missed the memo, not understanding state law is a minimum qualification for the job of Ada county commish.

I am thinking about not paying taxes on my home so ADA County will buy it for $240K to protect their investment in the back taxes.

Dear Butch,

I was wondering why you appointed Dave Case to the Ada County Commission since he broke the law to run for office. His status as a classified state employee forbids him from running for a partisan office.

Idaho Statute 67-5311. Limitation of political activity. (1) No classified employee of a state department covered by this act shall:
(c) Be a candidate and hold elective office in any partisan election.

I informed the Boise Guardian who in turn informed Mr. Case who then claimed to resign from his job as a Parole Hearing Officer as soon as he found out. I find that amusing since his job has never been listed as available. Mr. Case also claimed to have had no knowledge of the law regarding classified state employees and partisan public office. Since he was employed by ISP for six years BEFORE he was employed by the Parole Commission for 16 years I find that statement insultingly ridiculous. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse. Ask any Judge, Prosecutor or police officer in the entire state and they will agree.

I believe you should reverse your appointment and direct the Secretary of State to investigate Mr. Case’s eligibility as a candidate. While you’re at it you should ask Mr. Ysursa to look into Mr. Case’s campaign finance records as well.
