Even if BSU got a grant to study the F35 the outcome of the study would be that Boise MUST have the F35s and doing so would not have any negative impacts whatsoever.

BSU just received a Department of Defence grant for 1.7 million to study the decline of the Kestral.

It’s far more than 200 to 400 homes, try 10s of thousands. I live in the north end and I can hear those things plain as day, 5 to 6 miles from the runway. They so loud they even drown out the Harleys and Dodge Ram diesels.

They are names on bylines. They should not disturb the advertiser. Sort of like going to a resort town – don’t hassle the tourists.

Better perspective – they are gathering fact and opinions and when it is too late they will write their story, or summary.

I have lost faith in government, business, press, and death. All of these situations have participants who are just awaiting a paycheck in the afterlife of what is after servitude and life. As we should. We need food and other things society dictates. Serve the master.

Trailer for sale or rent.

Given past history every reporter in town is hoping for a job at some city, county or state agency so they cannot report anything accurately.

Investigative journalism is dead. Regurgitating press releases is all that remains.

Currently now ten years behind schedule and $200 billion over budget, the F-35 program could cost over $1 trillion over its lifetime.

Is it no wonder the Military wants to shove this plane down everyone’s throat. They have to justify that kind of spending somehow.

Dwight D. Eisenhower once said: I hate war as only a soldier who has seen it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, it futility, it stupidity…

One would think as many times as the Guard has been called up lately someone like General Saylor wouldn’t be so dismissive of the folks who don’t want the F-35. Saying 1300 jobs is more important that the 200-400 homes impacted is pretty stupid. Maybe what the General and City Council should do is buy the homes to the most impacted by the noise and force the 1300 workers and their families to live in them like on a Military Base. Problem Solved for some anyway.

Anything but their own pockets or official business from their respective entities would be a gift. Is there any gift paperwork?

EDITOR NOTE–Each went on approved travel by either the State or City. Boise Council approved Bieter and staff travel.

The other extreme is thinking casting your vote is enough. The middle ground is voting combined with donating money and time to a candidate who you feel represents you. It is unfortunate but reality, to win, campaigns need resources, good ideas and good candidates is not enough.
