Is there something that outlines the legal and proper uses of this urban renewal money? Let’s look at the original source documents.

Research when state code was created or changed regarding urban renewal agency membership. I’ll bet you a Trolley ride that City of Boise or one of its lobbyists (Association of Idaho Cities?) was involved.

EDITOR NOTE–No need for research. Only small concessions came after lengthy interim committee meetings with URA reformers asking for things like vote to elect members, no new DISTRICTS (rather than new AGENCIES) without vote of people, government oversight, and other issues. Establishment doesn’t want oversight or control from those whose taxes are diverted.

Crony craziness. Is it City code that determines what the composition of CCDC can be?

EDITOR NOTE–State code allows council to act as URA board, but if not, they cannot form a majority of membership. Original intent was to create an agency to accept Fed money from HUD (housing and URBAN DEVELOPMENT). Having the agency be apart from city kept funds from going to city services or otherwise being co-mingled. Idaho legislature refuses to properly address the issues as URA law is abused more each year state wide.

Seems to be unconstitutional? Too bad the legislature and courts are also just as corrupt.

It’s simply about them vs us, we earn and they spend our earnings. If we refuse to pay they show up with guns and force us to pay. The only way out is to not earn anything.
