So, this means all the union stickers and other crap applied to city owned fire trucks will be removed?

I received a letter in the mail, Boise City Looking Envelope, a few weeks back from Lauren McLean supporting Jim Hanson for re-election! WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? Both were using public property to promote their view!

Boy howdy! I’m sure glad us common folk don’t have a computer sitting right there on our car dashboards! Can you imagine?!? Those in-dash displays are awful, too!

(I s’pose it’s perfectly legal, even under the newly-enacted “no handheld electronics” law, that might be enforced starting January 1. The inattentive driving law only gets enforced after you crash, and only in egregious cases.)

But I digress.

I’m glad Bad Orange Man doesn’t live in MY head!!

I agree with DB’s comment. The City’s policy documents should say “publicly-owned vehicles” as that is what they are. This would help remind those at City Hall that they work for the public, as many seem to have forgotten that.

EDITOR NOTE–I agree with the nomenclature as well. However, we give them a pass in that “company car” can be construed as a generic term just as local governments are now using “chief operating officer” and similar commercial terms.

Not quite BS.
Every other president (any informed human) would take the issue seriously. C B & O! Any of the 3- and their administration- would be decent and MUCH better. The sticker stands as the truth.

EDITOR NOTE–
The post is about use of city property for a political post, not the content of the sticker.

Gotta love how their statement repetitively uses “company” as though they are private-sector. I wonder how many of these “company” owned vehicles are being used for “non-company” related business. I would say that the sign may be more telling than just words. And to Easterner all of them lied, in fact they all lie. We live in a society of liars and excuse makers.

I love the IDAHO NO VACANCY. Unfortunately, my response has to be “Dream On”. It’s finally our turn to be cremated by growth. I just savor all the years I had with the Idaho of old.

No surprise there. If it would have said, ” IDAHO NO VACANCY” they would have been fired.

Eastie, They all are full of crap. All on them, even your Obama God is full of crap.

Let’s join forces and find a better way of selecting candidates to include honesty and a few other important leadership qualities.

Thanks Dave for bringing this to our attention. The city needs to pay attention.
