Governments are good pals with developers. A few grand spilled here or there is not a big concern to the governments because they know these developers are going to facilitate millions of home-owner tax revenue. The developers are the geese that lay golden eggs for the tax hungry city/county/state government tax-spenders/abusers of power.

It’s like the relationship between a drug addict and his/her supplier. So, Ya have to be just plain stupid to think these government employees and politicians are gonna look out for the consumer.

BTW: Editor, for a shocking point of public education… would you care to post the city county budget pie-charts so that people can be amazed at where the money goes.

Looks like Eagle is following in Boise’s footsteps by letting developers get away with not paying their fair share. What about the ground Eagle bought from Ada County so we could have another person develop a winter ski area. Haven’t seen any development there.
Guess it is time to remember this at election time.
