					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m very concerned because several of them have never worked for a living.  Their biggest financial worry ever has been making a transfer from the pot of gold account to the checking account.

I don&#039;t agree with Sanchez on politic but at lease she knows what it&#039;s like to say &quot;oh crap I don&#039;t have enough money this month&quot;

I truly believe this crew is going to do huge financial damage to the Boise homeowner before we can finally flush them out and replace with people who work for a living.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Editor Note: Exactly; stop the sprawl and this will lead to less demand on city staff as well as all other taxpayer funded resources. Meanwhile, the City could choose to provide property tax relief by not taking the 3% this next year and instead, using some of the tax they already collected, but are choosing to sit-on by keeping nearly $53 million set aside for the library in the rebudget system.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[THIS JUST IN: &quot;Bloomberg sees California as model on climate change, guns&quot;

AP Wire- https://apnews.com/3e132696097bf5f9abcadf408d4d7cbb

Then this: Police: Liberal prosecutors to blame for chaos, mayhem in San Francisco

https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/police-liberal-prosecutors-to-blame-for-chaos-mayhem-in-san-francisco/

This is the permissiveness taken to a new level in Commiefornia. When do we start hearing this from our new Mayor and super progressives like Jimmy Halliburton? I spent many years steeped in this kind of viewpoint. I bought into much of it. You convince yourself that the groupthink is wiser than any critical thought process, even though I struggled with the logic. I kept telling myself that the greater good will be realized because of the fairy tale aura of leftist perception of the human condition was all based on class. That is total and utter crap. Life is much more complex than that. 

Once I broke out of my slumber, I saw just how bankrupt all of this stuff is. And now we can see the experiments of permissive leftist ideology on display in Commiefornia. And, insulated billionaires like Michael Bloomberg want to export this crap to the rest of the USA. Methinks that is exactly what the pro-density, Smart Growth types here in Boise want in the end. Be afraid. Be very afraid.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For Boise, the property tax increase is mostly used to pay for increases to personnel, as stated by the City’s finance department (1/22/2019 budget workshop). Anyone can see this in the City budget on p. 40-41, where property tax and personnel costs have been in lock-step for years.

Rather than placing all of the blame and responsibility on the state to address property tax, the City can do their part by addressing the compounding cost of personnel, otherwise the City will continue to take the 3% increase each year. The City can start by adjusting the annual 3% COLA, as this may have been sustainable years ago with far less employees, but that is no longer the case. Move toward shared insurance premiums, as the rising cost of healthcare has no end in sight. The private sector began using this method to keep costs in line years ago. The city employees will not want these changes, but the citizens are constantly told that with growth comes change. Well than change needs to take place across the board.

EDITOR NOTE--Less advertising, incentives, and less expansion would tend to cut down on the need for more employees to serve the growth.]]></description>

And Councilmember Sanchez represents citizens other than the upper-income citizens and &#039;stay at home moms able to do so&#039;.   TJ would have been better to nominate C. Sanchez.

					<description><![CDATA[Hopefully the new mayor will address the issue of Boise taking the maximum hit on property taxes every year. As a small business owner its not government regulations that are killing us. It is this never stops increasing property tax burden that we have to either absorb or pass on in the form of price increases. With all the new development one would think the additional taxes generated would more than satisfy city greed.]]></description>
