I do think it takes a notice and a hearing to take a reserve and give it to the bikers. The parks and historic commissions are if you think, still under the city umbrella. Nobody speaks for their own mission if you will, under the umbrella of the city. The city again breaks the rules and requires the citizens to fight in the courts.

Is everybody getting cabin stop by’s with the mayor and getting their tanks filled while they’re there? You’ll go see papa because he makes it easy to do so.

I just think that the mayor is so nice to the individuals he is nice to, such as his key employees, that nobody wants to be left out of that social circle at city hall. That’s where the raises and promotions are.

Albertsons’ are bleeding money but want to do things that outrage some citizens. Albertsons’ foundation is in support of high tech developers that run counter to the needs of the public schools – Albertson wants on-line ed, not schools, but wants a physical expensive library?

Tit for tat. Nothing is as it seems. or should I say TIT for Tat?

I want the city to change the system to one of a city manager leaving mayoral politics in the rear view mirror. How can that be done?

It’s time for the Mayor and his patsy Boise City Council (but they won’t do it) to have an open house for an entire afternoon to take questions and provide answers to a variety of projects and ideas: Folly Trolly, bike park, growth task force, etc.

And why does the Mayor’s bag man, Jade Riley, need to bash other city governments (and ACHD) in the recent Statesman article? And why does the former newspaper print that scurrilous material, anyway?

There’s a delicious irony in the Albertson family’s practicing the very subterfuge they decry when it comes to a stadium being built in THEIR backyard.

Katie –

The Mayor and City Council have disregarded boards, laws, ordinances, right and wrong, testimony at hearings, votes and the voters for years.

There is little chance if any that they will change.

So what? As we have seen not enough people seem to care or hold them accountable and until they do your comments are futile and they will continue as they have.

Thank you Katie! This Bike Park “Decision” is appalling as a total disregard for an open political process. Most of us know that Idaho’s Notice Requirements are a sham. What we need to find out is who is responsible for placing this matter on a consent agenda. TJ can you enlighten us? The Boise City P&Z is not an elected “governing board” and may have broken Idaho law with it’s two denials. P&Z commissions are advisory boards and the scope of its power is limited. A better process is needed to inform the public and to encourage its input. Consent agendas are for efficiency and not for disregarding the democratic process.
