Forced Air: I think you mean the “criminal behavior of the individuals in our institutions…” The only thing that will save our democracy is its institutional foundation. You express frustrations over elected and appointed officials, not the folks who ensure the functionality of our democracy on many levels. Try flushing your toilet without our government institutions; you’ll appreciate them a lot more when you’ve got effluent all over your yard.

I want to read about all of these outfits’ employee directories posted as “no longer works here.” We need to start over. First, we need a REAL judiciary that will ENFORCE the rules and regs vs corruption before we hire anyone for government agency or elected position.

After combing over the Horowitz investigations of the non-investigation of Hillary’s Pay2Play scam and Obama’s Spygate and the one sided Meuller ham sandwich indictments of late and many other miscarriages of justice, I now am 100% on board with Grover Norquist’s mantra “drag big government into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.” Former friends of mine would be horrified to here me say such a thing, but that is how disgusted I am with the absolute criminal behavior of our institutions these days.

Go to the AQB website: ’emissiontest.org’ and try to find out who is on the board or who is staff. Easily the least-informative website in Idaho.

With the new ACHd board and this years president, Rebecca Arnold, Goldthorpe was appointed to the Valley regional transit board, and Sarah Baker will be on the air quality board.

E#DITOR NOTE–Thanks for the clarification.

Gary:

Goldthorpe (quietly) replaced the guy who had been a Meridian city councilor, at AQB.

Actually, the AQB’s auto protology program is obsolete and should be discontinued, which likely requires legislation by the county commission.

EDITOR NOTE–He was the fulltime administrator of the emission testing program.

Is/Wasn’t Goldthorpe ACHD’s appointee to the air quality board, as I was in 1997-8, not an employee of the board as you imply?

I just checked the AQB’s online roster, which is not up to date, still showing Paul Woods as the ACHD rep on the board. Woods is no longer on the ACHD commission.

EDITOR NOTE–I believe Rebecca Arnold is the ACHD rep now.
