The mayor is in it for one thing, and that’s his California-sized ego. However, Ds have a running chance now that the Tea-party-on-ers have alienated independent and moderate voters with the party purity test and closed primaries. Politics in Idaho might get interesting again …

Maybe it’s time to reform the property tax xystem. Oh yeah… I forgot…no one will do make any meaningful change.

I live in S.E. Boise and I won’t vote for him. He hasn’t met a tax he didn’t like. That’s why I’m moving. I pay more property taxes now, then when my house was worth 30% more in 2007. I don’t like him as mayor and it petrifies me to think of him as Governor.

Given the current make up of statewide politics,a Democrat will not be able to be elected to Governor for the forseable future. The GOP has a lock on this state. You only have to look at results of the last 20 years and see how poorly the Dem’s have done even when running a strong candidate. Mr. Bieter ought to keep his job as mayor, otherwise, he will become just another unemployed former democrat politician just Like, LaRocco, Minnick, Grant, Lefavour,etc.,etc.,

He will win if he runs:

Local: Most in this area will vote for him because of name recognition. Being otherwise clueless as most voters are, that’s all it will take. Outstate: The local liberal media, which controls all media in the state, will carry the remander of the state in his favor with layers of BS broadcast 24/7. (yes they are very liberal… didn’t used to be but sure are now)

If he does not win, he and pals will have pocketed millions from all the national money poured into the fight… so he wins either way.

I’m just hoping we can get him out of the mayor’s office.

@IdahoCrystal

I appreciate your comment however placating peoples sensitivity is what has allowed this mess to happen.

I will not coddle ignorance, nor be gentle with foolishness.
Those behaviors are far too dangerous to treat lightly.

Property values goes down they raise the levy rates – rake in more money than they had before.

The property values go up – they commit legal robbery.

And don’t dare ask them to lower the levy rates!

Mr. “I don’t have enough money so I want more…..of yours?”

Will be hard pressed to get any votes outside the North End and the Democrat districts in Boise.

I received a notification that the appraised value of our home went up by 25% and then D.Beater(sic) wants to raise our taxes. If you can’t get a bus line named after you–you try something else.

@Mr. Hall – While I appreciate your non-partisanship, I would like to offer a bit of very unsolicited advice: You’ll go much farther in any bid for public affection with grace and diplomacy. Stick to the issues and no matter what, never resort to name calling.
Nobody wants to elect a man to public office who can’t respect someone else’s views, even if those views are really off the wall.
