When agencies start trading behind the scenes without consulting the taxpayers, you KNOW we need to ask hard questions. This is like the Black Budget schemes that Catherine Austin Fitts explains on the federal scale. We are being used a tax cattle. We are groomed and fed and slaughtered.

I thought Anthony Hopkins so!ved this after meeting a lady at Sizzler. She was a community drama club person and he was going to help.

in a sentence or two:

What what swapped for what?

EDITOR NOTE–City sold a parcel near Gowen, traded it and other piece back in exchange for the Armory. It was a three parcel exchange.

To follow on Easy’s comment.

Boise should create a CCDC redevelopment district in the Saint Lukes Hospital area to include the armory. Since the Saint Lukes property is already tax exempt, they would do so without any tax revenue from that property or improvements or expansion improvements. They would truly be doing a public service without huge tax incentives.

EDITOR NOTE–J & M pays about $44,000 a year in taxes as it is.

This is very easy to explain.

J&M has not been given CCDC money by the city.

Few develop in Boise without handouts from the city.
