The GUARDIAN has been informed by members of the West Bench Neighborhood Association their invitation to attend a candidate forum was accepted by Judy Peavey-Derr and Seth Holden, but incumbent Dave Bieter turned them down without explanation.
Bieter is scheduled to appear at a City Club of Boise event with the other candidates October 26 at noon in the Grove Hotel. The West Boise Neighborhood event is set for October 21, 2015 from 7pm to 8:30pm at Morley Nelson Community Center on Northview St.

Because he cares so much about the City outside the downtown!
Thanks Dave for giving the voters an opportunity to see you in action, answering our questions and you know, showing us you really listen. Not.

More proof of who Bieter is. Time to fire him! Maybe his pal in DC can give him a job for the final year.

The mayor is a wimp.
The mayor is like Hillary Clinton – he knows that the more he talks the worse he looks……but….
And all he needs to do is never show up and the north end will bail him out and re-elect him….again…and again.

I have to say I am really disappointed. The kid and I had this on our calendar. I am wondering why the neighborhood association advertised quite some time ago that he was coming. I assumed they would have had a commitment prior to doing so. And I also wonder why he isn’t coming. We were really looking forward to it. It was just by chance I saw this announcement. Would have really been angry to have shown up this week and learned he wasn’t going to be there!

Vista neighborhood should form it’s own city to avoid the giant sucking sound coming from Boise
