Dave Beiter’s legacy will be thousands of cookie-cutter apartments wedged into every open space in Boise, and the office space crammed into downtown boise.

Oh, and the sliding hillside (anyone remember that debacle?).

Another thing that I want to pass on. We must understand that many of these civic groups that make policy or advise for policy are more and more demanding that any decision is arrived at with consensus. This doesn’t mean that the decision is made when all at the table agrees, it’s made when a majority decides and the minority is made to agree by default because the group is based on “consensus” rules where in order to be in the group, you agree to vote with the majority even if you disagree with the majority decision. This furnishes the appearance of consensus and deceives the public into thinking that no controversy exists. That’s how these horrible decisions get pencil whipped into power.

There’s a very good Prager U video playing now that talks about Bureaucracies. It’s called “Who Are the Most Powerful People in America” and it’s really worth watching.

Going into his fifth or sixth term (who can remember), Mayor Dave is still desperate to buy or manufacture a legacy: the trolley, the stadium, the obscenity of a library, the F-35, etc.

Anyway, as Steve Allen would say, “All seriousness aside…”, are Mr. Editor and I the only ones old enough to remember the Fickle Finger of Fate?

David says, “Team Dave really needs to listen to his constituents and not the special monied interests in Boise.”

What makes anyone think the “special money interest” are NOT his (and all politicians) constituents?

He is listening to his constituents- the ones paying the political expenses.
-Up we go into the wild blue yonder!

The foul here is that TWO staffers were approved and scheduled to travel to Tyndell. THAT is bs!!!
Just like the departing Police Chief Masterson going on a Florida trip, within months of his scheduled retirement. = Government employee “benefits” at the expenses of taxpayers.

9/25/18 Meeting:
C. TRAVEL REQUESTS
*1. Chief William L. Bones, Boise Police Department, to attend the Idaho Hospital Association Critical Incident Response Panel in Sun Valley, ID, on Oct. 7-8, 2018.
*2. Nic Miller, Mayor’s Office, to attend the 2018 Reinventing Our Communities:Investing in Opportunity Conference in Baltimore, MD, September 30-October 3, 2018.
*3. , Mayor’s Office, to attend the 2018 Civic Leader Tour at Tyndall Air Force Base, FL, October 9-10, 2018.
*4. Amber Pence, Mayor’s Office, to attend the 2018 Civic Leader Tour at Tyndall Air Force Base, FL, October 9-10, 2018

We pay it- they spend it. 🙁

“point the noisy end out into the desert” – you mean where they are about to build 2000+ houses for “Syringa Valley”?

I can’t figure it why we’re surrounding the airport with houses and pushing for F-35s either!

Dearest Peons and Tax Donkeys,
Thank you so much for continuing to believe that voting for corporate whore candidates will somehow make things better for the citizens.
We couldn’t control you without your charming devotion to voting, you’re naive belief that TV and newspapers contain actual news, and not just propaganda, and you’re self medication to drug you into subservience.
We truly hope that our providing Bread & Circuses will keep you comfortable in your slavery and servitude.
We thank you for believing our endless false flag “mass shootings” are real, and thank you in advance for giving up your guns in the near future to protect “the children”.
Despite creating massive debt burdens and giving no consideration to conservation of resources for the future generations, we applaud your ability to believe our narrative that we care about “the children”.
If you watch TV, you know what comes next. The cop TV shows are all about torture being needed because “time is of the essence”. You know this is your future, and you will embrace the beatings to keep the Oligarchs in their God Given thrones of power.

Thank you for being powerless and weak,
The Oligarchs

What is the motivation of the Bieter Bots to bring the loudest aircraft the USAF has ever had to Central Boise? Jobs and economic impact will still happen if our base performed one of the many quiet tasks/functions. Will reduce air pollution too. Our air quality as bad as LA for much of the year after all.

Bieter, someone at the airport is performing high power jet engine testing on the ground at Boise airport at night. Low frequency rumble heard and felt several miles away. Please direct the culprit to point the noisy end out into the desert. As the airport owner/manager please get an FAA grant to build a hush fence around a designated test area. If you were a responsible airport manager this would have been done 20 years ago. FAA Boise, please look into this as I think the federal regs on airport noise are being violated by these routine late night jet engine tests.

Thanks Editor. I had a good laugh. Hope F-35’s remain mostly grounded due to their superior complexity.
