We should form a committee to decide if we need a committee to be formed to appoint a committee to look into this.

It’s a messed up game of “finders..keepers” that gives the advantage to whatever authority assumes control of the dead person’s dispensation. This is definitely the reason you MAKE OUT A WILL!

Mel, anyone can do a record request.

Unfair to ask Guardian to file all of the Requests for Information. It is very easy to do from home and if info is relevant then forward it to Dave. He will appreciate the help.

Rod – I looked at the Ada County bid web site and do not see a single notice for any firearms sales over the last 4 years.

You may have hit something here.

Can the Guardian do a records request so we can find out when the sale was and to whom?

The result of and immense decades long organizational culture of disrespect for the taxpayers… which goes clear to the top… most of the people involved in this did not recognize they were doing wrong. Because the government can do no wrong they will not be judged harshly if at all. You might discover that those who did not participate where punished for their conscientiousness.

Enjoy the decline people.

Good point Rod. I know at least one person who works for the county who made out like a bandit on a large amount of firearms from a public administrator estate. I don’t think it was ever even open to public bid.

After reading the report it appears that we have the inmates running the jail.

All the recommendations are just more “oversight” by the same county employees who have inside access and information – the same that have benefited. There is not a single independent third party in this process.

The County as proven it cannot govern itself.

In your note you mention that guns were sold to a gun dealer.

Was there any public notice of the sale or was that an inside deal as well? How many gun dealers bid?

Keep digging.
