More Pay2Play from a government agency. Special Interests afoot.

More backroom (and back channel emails) deals crafted.

Too many Non Playable Characters (sheep) voting these days.

Now that makes perfect sense. Construction companies certainly don’t want to pay a fair share for use of our city/county roads. ACHD’s “proposal” reflects the total disconnect between
Ada County residents and their elected “leaders.” They are bought and paid for by special interests who gobble at the trough of “public money.”
Vote NO and vote statewide to eliminate those in office who benefit from greed and graft.

“Proposed by ACHD.”

ACHD continues to replace ped ramps all over town. Though this is very important to the differently abled, it’s hardly a priority.

ACHD recently spent a fortune redoing Emerald between Americana and Orchard, for little gain.

ACHD continues to add bike lanes everywhere and yet, cars still outnumber bikes 1000 to 1 or even greater. I rarely see cyclists using bike lanes. And I cycle a lot, probably more than 90% of my fellow Ada County residents.

Also, the voters just gave them a fee increase just a few years ago.

I’m voting no.
