Caeth a more concerning question is if our public servants, getting paid by us, aren’t enforcing the laws, codes, rules etc. Not Doing their job! Should we keep paying them?

Should we question the need for more law enforcement, INCREASED PROPERTY TAXES or have the ones we pay for to do their job?

The answer is in the Legislature and the ballot booth.

As Katie Fite points out, dumb politicians are not helpful.

Remember Ryan Davidson’s position next time he is up for election- Ada Commissioner in 2 years.
“I’m generally not in favor of banning much of anything,” Davidson said.
Chaos.

Tell me, Frank. If the authorities choose not to enforce a law, is it really a law?

Suppose WE could start selling POT in Boise, sign a waiver not to smoke it in Idaho? Makes as much sense as selling illegal fireworks.

THANK YOU, DAVID KLINGER. YOU JUST SAVED ME FROM LABORING OVER A RESPONSE: THAT LIKELY WOULD NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOURS!

I’ll only add that I live darn near on top of the Boise Police Dept. I am also a Nevada gambler, and I’ll look at all bets; there won’t be any aerials in this area.

It’s pretty amazing. Generally law-abiding citizens nudge-nudge, wink-wink and engage in a night of civil disobedience. And of course their kids grow up and continue the tradition. (Lots of ’em save a few bombs for New Year’s Eve, as well.)

If they stay out of the dry brush and don’t light the neighbor’s house on fire, I’m a tolerant fella and can look the other way – within reason. When the celebrating is still going full swing at midnight or 1am, it starts getting just a bit annoying.

Apparently we need to burn down a neighborhood or the foothills every few years, to get people to take it a little more seriously.

We have increased the danger to people by how the homes are built in the foothills. A clear danger taken on voluntarily, I might add. There are many weed patches near homes everywhere in the valley, too. Tough tidally winks to us.

If you would like to know how many tickets were written and what they were for, you can complete a public information request for that info. It is possible to get that information on how many were written year to year.

Western., every time I sit at a big intersection going straight and the opposing left turners go through 3 or 4 at a time after my light is green I ask the same question.

The Foothills cheatgrass is 18″-2 ft. tall and drying out. The annual rye is over 4 ft tall. And this Ada Commisisoner doesn’t think a fireworks ban is a good idea!

After all – there’s only Mule Deer and Elk winter range and thousands of homes at risk …

And it sounds like Ada County ain’t gonna be dong much enforcement anyway.
