We have done a few of these forums and we are planning on recording this one.

Opening statements, questions and closing remarks will all be timed to give equal opportunity to our candidates.

Annexation is another way to raise money for the city. The mayor and council will ALWAYS tell you that the reason for it is that those being annexed are using city services.

But again it is simply a method to raise more money. AND you have NO defense against it.

Thanks for informing the readership of this event. I will make ever effort to attend it especially as I don’t live very far from there.

Do you know if there will be anyone there recording/filming it?

Annexation should be an agenda item. It seems that Boise has annexed new land every year since 1947. Sometimes at the request at of the property owners but often it is a forced annexation. When will Boise become big enough and start forcing development in existing boundaries?

Here are 2 that are in the works and looked to be forced annexation .

“fair and balanced”—like Fox News?

EDITOR NOTE–You are welcome to come and ask questions…unless you have already made up your mind without hearing from the candidates.

Last time I watched Dave Bieter in a debate he stumbled and stammered his way through it. I couldn’t believe anyone would actually vote for the idiot. I’m giving high odds on something more important popping up and Bieter racing off due to “important city business.”
