I am disappointed that the project was not able to find a path to success. As it is, our community continues to pour 2000 tons of waste into the landfill each day. That’s not theoretical pollution – but actual and ongoing. That’s not going to change unless some different approach is taken to managing our waste stream. The Dynamis approach was a different approach. Perhaps the management of this project was a bit inept, but it seems to me that a major impediment was also a resistance to change in the community.

Change will happen. If we do nothing, it’ll be the change of an ever-growing landfill. Approaches that change our waste stream into a resource ought to be encouraged and not discouraged.

No, wouldn’t get rid of the county sheriff. He does a lot more than patrol the unincorporated county. And there are other responsibilities he could take on. Agree?

The only good out of this is the EVIL TRASH BURNER, TIRE BURNER FROM HELL won’t be built and more than likely won’t ever be reserected again in most folks lifetimes.

We are not in short supply for landfill ops by any stretch of the imagination. And for something like this to be sold on that issue is pure folly. Too bad it took $2MM to learn this lesson for our elected deciders.

Just for perspective, this little “loan” that won’t be repaid cost every man, woman and child in Ada County five bucks. Thanks, Sharon and Rick! How about buying us all lunch?

Sam, I apologize then for going directly to the ultimate “double dog” slur and calling you one of “them.” I did so based on your possibly, in retrospect, facetious comment about even more county wide land grabs by omnipotent little self serving politicians. The part about total annexation sure sounded like just one more cockamamie proposal that some refugee would drag in when they migrated here. If you want to get rid of one layer of bureaucracy, just don’t live in incorporated areas.
(Just curious, would you also do away with our elected law enforcement officer, the county sheriff, and have only one more political appointee animal as supreme local enforcement officer for us all?)

As far as more people moving here and getting involved, see if you can find an older native kali and asked them how that has worked out there. Or even better yet to see the phenomenon of what happened there and is happening here on a condensed scale, research Antelope Oregon and those miscreant migrants.

Ok dh. I know it isn’t the answer to annex it all, just frustrated. Would eliminate some elected officials, which not everybody likes. And I’m an Idaho native (the fairgrounds used to be on Fairview when I was a kid). It has just never been this bad here before. But more people, thus more getting involved in politics, so maybe changes will happen. Wishing for the best.

“Let the cities annex the rest of the county and we won’t need most of those county offices.”
Sam, Sam, Sam, is that the way they did it in the People’s Socialist Republik of Kali, or Texas or WA state? It really doesn’t matter from whence you came, the only thing we care less about than you transplants is how you did things wherever you ran away from. . .if you like the way things were done “there” hit the road home, it does run both directions.

Although your land rapers and little demigod politicians in Boise, Eagle, Meridian, Kuna, Nampa and Cladwell have tried their best to annex and subjugate as much open ground as possible there still remain a few rural areas of Ada and Canyon Counties that are not run by those bicycle pedaling trolley fetishists to whom the Bench and the North End are nirvana.

These are the days of teflon coated politicians, where even American representatives, murdered by the incompetence of “our” leaders (and then lied about) are mere “speed bumps” to be ignored or just denied away. It would seem that graft, favoritism and payola exist at even the most basic local levels. Incompetence that results in multi million dollar school district shortfalls is dismissed as “Oh, they made mistakes in accounting.” Far too many elected and appointed officials get by, quite literally with murder and suffer no consequences, let alone penalties. Why would we local tax payers even expect ANY return from the TWO MILLION DOLLARS (even if they are deflated obamma marks instead of real US dollars) of OUR money that was handed over by elected crooks to opportunistic sheisters?

Dog maybe we could put Idaho power out of business? Like as if they’ve been kind to Idahoans.

Let the cities annex the rest of the county and we won’t need most of those county offices. Going to happen eventually, just speed up the process.
