I walked away from the Viewpoint interview with a different perspective than you did. What I saw was an elected official being extremely rude to fellow panelists in an effort to make herself look good. She tried to dominate the interview by constantly interrupting, downplaying the facts that have come to light, and displaying a bunch of paperwork irrelevant to Ada County’s unique air quality concerns. She bashed Hidden Springs residents for their outrage over a project that obviously will affect them and their immediate neighbors most, yet neglected to mention that the city of Meridian HAS publicly questioned this ill-advised contract rammed through in nine days without a public hearing, feasibility study or Environmental Impact Study (EIS) and entered into in violation of county and state codes and the Idaho Constitution. Don’t buy her spiel, folks. Remember, voters fired her as they did former Commish Fred Tilman. Stick with the law and new commishes who could take legal action themselves to stop Dynamis. Here’s link to interesting article on new commishes in Spokane County who have asked the Bureau of Indian Affairs to overturn a contract for a gambling casino and to allow them to weigh in on the project:

KTA-from Meridian, not Hidden Springs

I kind of liken the handling of this project to the Luna Laws. Lots of public outcry, but they were still fast tracked with no input from the stake holders. Eventually the laws were thrown out, just like Ullman.

Here is a great opinion about what happens when politicians don’t listen to the public.

I am 100% against the Dynamis fiasco, but c’mon, get better people out there that can convey a cognizant, appropriate, and succinct message. Those on the panel just got owned by Ullman!
