I will never again trust the people and companies and media outlets involved.

The fact that she is the highest paid city employee is simply a function of supply and demand. Hupp is a very capable director and the City will be fortunate to retain her. You have no bone to pick with her.

However, I dislike that she signed her name below pro-F35 Op-Eds ordered by the City of Boise from “Strategy360”. Which obviously did not work out, at least so far.

EDITOR NOTE–Wonder if her position changes with a new mayor.

However, Doan will be back, running for city council.

The emperor had no clothes!
Thanks for your good work, Dave.

Now we are supposed to believe that McLean will magically repair the damage because she abruptly changed her position on the day of the campaign filing deadline.

We simply do not have a single city leader that will step up and even put it as a motion.

We need an initiative to get districts!

You change that to coincide with national elections and mid-term elections and it will be easier for regime change in Boise local government. The turn out for mayoral elections prior to the library/sports stadium election and turnout is absolutely pathetic….but add Mayor to the ballot during a national election and you will see change.

Will Bieterville never die?
