What is really confusing is the vast number of people binging up the option of improving the stadium at the original site or utilizing the race track/fairgrounds land. And there is no response whatsoever. Not even from ada county, which is the entity that owns the land.

If as the city says, 70% of citizens support the stadium, they should be anxious to put the issue to a vote!

Will be interesting to see how this develops now that BSU is going its own way!

Hey, everyone.

Just wanted to reach out again and let folks know I am running for the Boise City Council in the upcoming election.

I am 100% against issues like the trolley and stadium and believe in voter’s rights. I also think one of the greatest facts about my campaign is that I am NOT endorsed by the Mayor, current council, or any of the other establishment politician in the Valley. Hope to earn your vote this November! Excited to bring change and perspective to the future council.

The tax situation with the Zions Bank building is an outrage. One thing I find remarkable with the current City Council is their zombie-like votes and public statements, and their deference to Bieter. Their job is in part to scrutinize what the Mayor does. They are not supposed to be lap dogs, spoon fed talking points that they then faithfully recite. One thing really remarkable is that incumbent TJ Thompson now running for reelection in Council Seat 4 is an Auditor at Idaho Power by profession. Yet somehow we had the giant Boise City Foothills levy tax screw up. (I do wonder what the real story is behind that). But anyway, that screw up sure undercuts TJs “Vote for Someone with Experience” argument.

Just look at the upcoming council election. Most of the candidates and especially those likely to win are Davey’s lap dogs.

Does anyone honestly think the GBAD, chock full of Bieter cronies, is going to say no? If you do think they are independent, then I have a bridge I can sell you, cheap.

The survey you site was manipulated.
The city had individuals and groups that it has access to send in positive results.

You need to look at the actual written inputs that they refer to and you will notice they come from all those that support the mayor and council.

Even though the Auditorium District as not formally discussed it or there has not been any formal presentation the developer has hired the law firm of Spink Butler to have discussions behind the scenes.

This is one of those situations like the process Washington DC has used to create the Russia connection with Trump. Do EVERYTHING behind the scenes and then do the deal out of the sight of the public.

We have a local government that operates just like Washington – they DO NOT want the stupid, know nothing voters to have anything to do with messing up their game.

Until the Mayor and his cronies are replaced this process WILL NOT CHANGE!

Time for a new mayor. I’m getting tired of street cars etc being shoved down our throats.

No on the stadium.
