Editor:
You seem to be quite eager to skirt and dismiss readily substantive issues with the cops, with unethical prosecutors, with broke and mismanaged munis like Nampa, cops writing tickets for jaywalking or a few mph over, etc. What gives?

Don’t care, don’t agree, or don’t you give a pinch???

EDITOR NOTE–Actually there are those who think we are too harsh on coppers. We try not to get into “cop bashing,” but we have exposed crooked coppers who have been fired, detailed legal settlements ($150,000 to the Taser up the butt cop), and others. We are expecting some Federal action in the future, but no time frame yet available.

Stinker Got Grounded…
Post a story about how the Sinker Station next to the 36th street Albertsons sold Alcohol to a minor and part of the punishment was that they “got grounded” and could not sell any alcohol for a week. I know it’s not a big stort but it is funny. I was there the other day to get gas and the coolers were empty, and all neon signs were shut off. I asked it if not being allowed to sell alcohol was killing there sales and the manager just sighed. He said that they are having a rough week and sales are way down. Also, 3 different times during this conversation individuals would walk in wanting to buy alcohol and left empty handed and irritated. The poor manager had to explain why they couldn’t sell alcohol each time this happened. I got a good laugh about it. By the way, the people at this Stinker are always very nice and friendly.

I haven’t been to Seaman’s gulch to dump any trash for about 4 years. Recently I found the fees to dump up there have roughly doubled.
Is this due to the Dynamis debacle?
Or did I just miss this and it is old news?

The Bend Oregon brewed beer goes through an Oregon distributor and 10 barrel buys it back in Idaho. Whacked. yes but they did find a workaround an arcane law.

I know the Daily recently ran a piece about the humble boise mayor playing creator with the Greater Boise Auditorium District, but seriously … what the heck is going on here? In my many years as a registered voter, I’ve never received a GOTV call for GBAD candidates. Yesterday, I got a voice message left by a boy who couldn’t have been old enough to vote. Can’t remember the group he said he represented, but sure tried hard to convince me that the mayor’s three hand-selected candidates would work miracles for Boise and its economy.

How deep does this rabbit hole go, an why??? Feels like all this effort is a little much for a baseball field of dreams.

I would like to say hello to Mrs. G. and add that the expression “long-suffering” often comes to my mind. You, dear lady, are one very special person and cherished by many more than you could even begin to suspect, and admired by all.

Now that the new Brew Pub 10 Barrel has opened downtown, I assume the recent legislature made changes to our law, thus permitting the establishment to open in a State owned building. If I recall, last August the Guardian had an article about the delay and changes to the state law was necessary to permit their opening. What changes were made and our the tax payers footing the costs again?

EDITOR NOTE–The taxpayers paid for the “Tenant Improvements.” Not sure if 10 barrel got around the importing issue (from Oregon) by going through a distributor or if the law was changed.
