An earlier comment by DB suggested, “The second step would be a required annual financial disclosure for these agencies. The people should be able to see how their money is being spent.”

The CCDC is required to follow Idaho Code regarding financial disclosure and this information is available on their website. I hope more people wll take the time to locate and read these documents, which can be found at:

1. http://www.ccdcboise.com
2. Click “Menu” at top right corner
3. Scroll down list on right side to “Resources, Reports, & Studies”

You can view Annual Reports, Audits, Annual Budgets, 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan, specific URD plans, and more.

In additon, the CCDC’s monthly meeting agendas and minutes are on the website where you can see specific project details, costs, and approvals/decisions.

Any citizen can attend these monthly meetings, or you can listen to the meetings at any time, as they are audio recorded and attached to the meeting files on the website.

Knowledge is power!

Thank you for fighting the liberal TeamDave and cronies with their grandiose schemes and plans to tax us to death. Hopefully someone decent will win the next election.

Yes. Let’s find out what the watchers are saying and doing.

It’s time for the citizens of Boise to use the legal process to uncover the opposition research accumulated by TeamDave. TeamDave used tax money to hire outside firms to identify and surveil those who dare oppose them. Let’s turn the tables and show the world their true colors.

Would not be surprised if the program was used to blacklist and harass opponents.

(This money for snooping was briefly in media. Then silence in typical local media fashion.)

Idaho’s Local Economic Development Act properly applied can be an important tool for improving truly blighted urban areas. City Hall’s response to these recent amendments does not bode well. With the recently proposed Bench additions, Boise is approaching 8 percent of its land area in “blighted” urban renewal districts, more than half of which is undeveloped desert land. If the mayor and his cronies continue to try to use CCDC to evade voter approval of large city building projects, they endanger the legitimate uses of this tool.

JJ, Richard the Mule is definitely not a donkey, and the coffee is free. Trekking to where Cafe Mule is serving trailside is a wonderful social event where many new friends are made! Matt (the human behind Cafe Mule) has gone from a free coffee stand in the Foothills to a thriving local business, and he donates a portion of his sales to Ridge to Rivers. You should check him out sometime, either on the trail (see Cafe Mule on Facebook) or at one of the many locations his beans and brew are available: ironmulecoffee.com. He’s a super nice guy with a great product! And most times Richard’s nice too – he is, after all, a mule 🙂

I wouldn’t be crowing about this yet Mr. Guardian …. as in many cases….”The devil is in the detail”. I would wait a while to do your victory lap.

This forum is a huge benefit to our community. This is more true now than ever. I really, really do not want Boise to become Portland. I want to curb growth to a trickle. I am very afraid of Team Dave’s power to indoctrinate, assisted by the non-education system and MSM propaganda. Fake News is at its zenith, hailing from the pillars of the legacy giants. Lies and omissions are at peak strength. All we have are folks like Dave F that hold the line with bailing wire and gum.

Take a bow, good sir.
