Wallmart also, has substantial real estate in Nampa but I would oppose a member of the Walton family on the Nampa Urban Renewal Board also. If Mr. Williams has any integrity he will resign

In the same line of thinking it seems unusual that out of 88 firefighters 52 live outside the city limits and out of 157 police dept. employees 61 live outside the city of Nampa. The city they have pledged to defend is not good enough for them to live in, apparently

Spoiler alert preemptive guess at Guardian’s editor’s note: “Who’s to say the board ever had a tie vote!”

EDITOR NOTE–Glad we got your attention. A catcher can run a baseball team, QB can run football team, Boehner runs congress. Even if those “outsiders” never win, they are indeed running the district. Sorta like having people from Oregon in the Idaho legislature if you get the drift.
