The Eagle example takes it a step further and in my mind is clearly outside State law.
However, that said, the voters of Canyon County recently defeated a $180 million plus bond issue for a new jail. However the law as interpreted by the Idaho Supreme Court would allow a lease purchase with the approval of 2 out of 3 Canyon County Commisars without any vote. You think they wouldn’t do that? They have had numerous consultations with Bankers to do just that. Something similar to HB 117 is needed.
