Meetings should be here and open to public to LISTEN to the discussion if there is a quorum of any elected body in attendance. The Chamber should make the list of attendees available to the press or anyone else hat wants it maybe post it on the Chamber website. Waste of our taxes even if the room rates are cheap.

You are correct, but lets not forget it’s not only the elected who missuse their power.

They apparently have their own little club happening up there.
In March (8th & 9th)2013 it was World Class Defenders & World Class Skiing @ Sun Valley Inn.

I’m no golfer – my only exposure is at the courses with the little windmills and gaping clown mouths, and watching “Caddyshack” every couple years. But – I believe April is mighty early for golfing in the high country. Is there golf in Sun Valley in mid-April? (To their credit, the rates for lodging are probably their cheapest this time of year.)

Perhaps everything about this thing is on the up-and-up, but when you’re a politician, PERCEPTION is probably more important than reality. They’re probably hoping most of their constituents are too busy watching “Dancing with the Stars” to pay attention… but they should realize that those who ARE paying attention have questions and doubts that should be addressed.

@ Editor: When will you learn whether or not these junket meetings will admit the unpaid public? If they don’t do it, there will be no accountability on how
many of them attended while hashing out the agenda, and how many of them dorked off to play golf.

How much per diem do they get for golf and other perks at tax payer expence and howmuch time do they actualy spend in the meetings? Seems like one or two persons could go and bring back info to the city workers.

Happy I don’t live in Boise.

The bottom line is these politicians have crossed the inevitable line that results from being in office for too long. It is a common human condition that all of us can succumb to in different areas. We just lose sight of the honor and responsibilities that come from serving the public.
