All you need to do is get a copy of any and all advertising contracts and compare the dates and who signed them with the date funds were appropriated.

If contracts were signed by any political subdivision prior to having money appropriated then a “debt” was created and violated the statue.

Nothing worse for the wine and cheese crowd than to have ordinary people discover they are full of crap.

“The City Council and Boise Ethics Commission said they recognized a potential conflict of interest, but signed off” S. Berg, Statesman

So this is how the City of Boise ethics works…..just have them “sign off” and everything is OK?????

Don’t blink!

Betting they’ll reappear with a new propaganda friendly name like Patriotic Boiseans for Economic Freedom.

Government and the fake corporate media are joined at the hip. They’ve got the bully pulpit, the money, and all the time in the world to implement their evil plans.

It is very clear that the money and staff resources that are being spent by Ms Ronk and the Idaho Department of Commerce and the the Mayor and the City of Boise are focused on influencing local opinion – NOT “attracting” the F-35.

There is a very high likelihood that IF there is any money being spent outside the State of Idaho that it is being spent to cover up the local citizens voices that are concerned about the impact to their homes and neighborhoods.

How much of that $100,000 in ID Dept. of Commerce Ad (Media Bribe) money is the Idaho Statesman getting? Heck of a way to get a Paper’s Editorial Board endorsement, sappy endless puff pieces on the F-35 Noise Monsters, and zero investigative journalism from the Statesman. Not to mention unrelenting Statesman Editor scrutiny of any anti-F-35 Opinion pieces and rejection of Op Eds for spurious reasons.

The Gowen Strong website is registered to an airport employee – how is that not a conflict if they are running the website?

So you really expect us to believe that they dissolved this in February and the form just happen to sit on someones desk 3 and half months!!!!!!

Also how does a City Council give an “ethics waiver”?

It is more like we know we are violating the law but we will vote on it so we can back each other up!!!!!!

Can I get an ethics waiver for not paying my city taxes please???

If the Idaho Department of Commerce is the source of the money for the ads then that can be verified with public records.

If they cannot produce the invoices that show they paid then someone else is hiding the money.

Megan Ronk, Department of Commerce Director and co chief cheerleader to Ms Hupp, confirmed 4 weeks ago at the NNU breakfast that the Boise City Airport staff was a part of Gowen Strong. Stay tuned for actual quotes from the recording.

I would not think that the airport director as a salaried employee has any “on her own” time available if she is doing anything, anything that involves the airport.

If the web site is a city thing, can someone get an injunction to take it down?
