Hey Paul what about the annexation question? I’d like to hear from all the candidates their view on how Boise forcibly annexed the NW open spaces into the City over the last few years, catalyzing the homogenization of little old houses, small pastures and big gardens into high density housing. Let me prime the pump: it was a sham.

Mr. Fortin, how did your visit with the BPD union go?

Well that was pretty much as non-committal a response as one could expect.

I guess if we are looking for a candidate that won’t let you know how he feels until after you vote him in – Paul looks like your man.

The question is not a choice between A-10 and the F-35 – the question is whether it makes sense to have the F-35 menacing the city of Boise given our “Most Livable City” aim.

If the F-35 comes to Boise I recommend we change it to “Most Laughable City” – as in – what a bunch of fools.

CWI needs to stay at their Nampa location. They have a large undeveloped area which is centrally located for all Valley residents. The postage stamp in Boise in addition to taking property off of the tax rolls will have no end of parking and traffic problems.
As to the baseball “field of dreams” economics of stadiums without taxpayer subsidy is universally in the red. Nampa still subsidizes the Idaho Center as much as $ 2 million annually
