Right now, sweat is being wiped from certain individual’s brow along with the uttered comment “Good Gosh that was close”. Yes. It sure was.

And further, if Bieter and Masterson cannot, or WILL NOT, provide the necessary LEADERSHIP, then we must elect and hire someone who will, PERIOD!!!!!!!

If Bieter and Masterson fail to give the citizens, voters, and taxpayers a full, comprehensive, open, expansive, and exhaustive report or REPORTS on these numerous, egregious, critical, and crucial issues, then we will have been sent a serious message from them that is generally along these lines:

FLIP YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

And, what does THAT imply of our so-called “LEADERS”??????????????

Steve Crea: ON THE MONEY. Congrats on your incredibly perceptive comments. The first I have actually read on this subject. I happen to agree with every single word of it.

I’ll answer that……..it will be quick, silent and out of the public eye. Word games.

Too citizen I would say the first step in fixing a problem is admitting there is a problem. I think Masterson has at least come to realize his department has a major problem, something that Beiter seems to not know and the head of the other “BIG” LE dept. could care less about.

And, we are not finished with the corruption in Canyon County and Nampa, either……………….!!!

And further, do you really believe that the resignation of the last “ombudsman” was merely a “coincidence” or an opportunity for him to “move up”??????

I would strongly suggest, NO!!!

I am very, very skeptical of “coincidences”, and you should be as well.

No federal indictment never means that everything was lily white, altar boy appropriate, ethical, legal, no dirty laundry, no misconduct, and so forth and so on………………….

In fact, a lengthy investigation signals that there were plenty of problems.

However, and think about this:
Because there is an enormous amount of cooperation between most “law enforcement agencies”, and because a very public spectacle would severely undermine BPD (which the Feds and others do not want), and could easily undermine all of the legitimate “law enforcement” activities that they spearhead, it is somewhat unlikely that the Feds would bring charges under a wide array of facts and circumstances.

But again, a length investigation strongly signals that there were in fact, many, many problems.

There are other ways to handle many of these issues and avoid a very public spectacle, including forced resignations, terminations, severe reprimands, secret agreements regarding changes in policy and procedures, forced monitoring of an array of individuals and issues, and so forth.

The lack of leadership at the top, including, but not limited to, Bieter and Masterson, is a severe problem that must be addressed.

So does “no federal indictment” mean “noone did anything wrong” and no further action is warranted? Or will the housecleaning be quick silent and out of the public eye? Will the ombudsman issue any kind of statement or is this all she wrote?
