Zippo is right, we are all frogs being boiled slowly….

On another note I appreciate the city acknowledging they fell short

Government leader / employee strategy 101:

It is most important to cut customer services first and foremost as we divert more and more money is to feed the internal beast of pensions, bonuses, bennies, and pay increases. By cutting where it hurts the most, and is the most visible, the weak minded and inferior general public will be compelled to tolerate or even approve of higher and higher fees and taxes in exchange for less and less actual service delivered to the end point.

Canyon county residents who live outside of the city of Nampa are billed directly from Republic Services. Guess what– since they do not pay the City of Nampa franchise fee of 20% and efficiency in billing by Republic their trash bills are at least 20% less than in some cases their neighbor across the street. I suspect Boise residents might be in a similar situation

If you think the utility billing system is bad, try calling and emailing the city forester…

they never get back to you, but then tag your trees for removal in 6 months or so, and follow up with stump removal a year later

How’s that for customer service!
…and all I wanted to do is see if my maple tree could be saved 🙁
