That’s funny, Editor!!!!

“Educating” children is not the objective of 80% of the parents.
Why should it be for the politicians?

Might file same request with the ISU Foundation directly. They are a public entity.

Then, file same public records request with the Office of the State Board of Education in Boise. That Board would have approved the agreement between ISU Foundation and ICOM.

Dig deeper…

The reasons for funny business:
1) The average citizen is a complete idiot. Only concerned about what Mark Suckerberg and Shrill Sandbagger tells them to be concerned about.
2) Police, Prosecutors, Judges don’t want to investigate charge and trial their friends and family.
3) Tip of the iceberg. These sorts of things go on within the Police, Prosecutors, Judicial branches too.

See nothing, say nothing, be happy!

It should be that the documents facilitating the transaction(s) are public.

EDITOR NOTE–My guess is there is nothing illegal. I do question the practice of earmarking a donation for a private entity and calling it an “educational contribution.” The foundation is likely just clueless about being co-opted. We would like to see students as minds to educate rather than potential revenue sources.

Somebody needs to dig up the answers. This has to be in the public record somewhere, otherwise there is likely trouble.
