The same absurd behavior occurring in City Hall is happening in D.C., in the post Mueller report release era. The Neo-Socialists are reacting with unbridled fury at anyone who does not accept their world view. So glad I bailed out of that crowd when I did. Dave Bieter equates anyone who signed this petition with disdain the same way Dems deem a Trump supporter as a defacto racist. We have reached the Poe Horizon in today’s political sphere.

Just to go on the record – I didn’t get to sign the petition – but if I have to crawl to the voting booth – I will and I WILL be voting against these white elephants.

You are dumber than you look Mayor Bieter if you think failing to sign the petition equates a vote in support of your unchecked arrogance.

The last time they asked the voters’ opinion it was the fire bond. We said “yes” to $17M, and they’ve spent nearly $30M so far, and still not done.

I believe the good Mayor is up for reelection this November. Honestly, I have had enough of his brand. Lets vote him out!

Typical of the power-hungry politician, who sees citizen involvement as a potential roadblock to pursuing his grandiose agenda. Paid for, of course, with other peoples money. Shameless political spin….

According to the Mayor’s nonsensical statement, not signing the petition(s) — (even ifyou were aware of the petitions or not, and/or you were aware of the 2 proposed major projects or not) — would mean that you do not believe citizens should be allowed to vote, and by default you support the benefits of such projects. This is a great example of why it is critical to think before one speaks, and why words matter.

So by Mayor Beiter’s logic those that refused to vote in the last mayoral election did not support mayor Bieter’s agenda? The cities missteps on a variety of issues is almost comical if it didn’t cost the tax payers so dearly. Mayor Bieter, city council, city of Boise – please stop.

If The good Mayor actually believes what he says the vote will confirm his allegation that non-signers are all in favor of the Library and sports stadium as presented. If not perhaps a little crow pie would be in order.

It is now time to everyone you know to plan to vote “no”. on these boondoggle projects.

I expect to see the City spend our tax money on a BIG PR campaign to convince everyone to vote for the projects.

It is time to send a solid message to the city that we DO NOT agree with their kingdom building agenda and that they are NOT smarter than the voters. Time to get VOTE NO signs up all over time.

Bieter seems to be losing it. He built a clique of insider puppets who now run this town. They are propped up by endless City Hall PR spin, media puff pieces about Livability, and expensive consultants like Strategies 360 and Spark, and their propaganda campaigns. No dissent or deviation from what Bieter wants is allowed. Now that citizens are becoming disgusted with the destruction of so much of the quality of life and environment in Boise, they are seeing through the propaganda spewed by City Hall.

Something that really struck me in getting is signatures is how many folks still do not understand all that is involved in these projects, or who have only a vague idea that something is going on related to the library. When they learn the City plans to demolish the existing library and the historic warehouse where the Foothills school is located and build yet another big ugly parking garage that will generate more of a traffic nightmare, and move the Cabin to a Park’s open space area, their faces visibly change. It’s like a light clicks on. They see this is a really big deal and they become concerned about it. Or they say things like: “If they need more space, why can’t they just build on to the existing library? Or build more branch libraries?”.
