Straight Poop On Saturday Market
GUARDIAN reader Hillary got our attention when she wrote about the overflow demand for “services” at the Saturday Market on 8th street.

More Poop On The Foothills Dog Rules
Guest Opinion By Marianne Konvalinka The Foothills Conservation Advisory Committee passed a motion at their public meeting in December that would have cut off-leash access in the Lower Reserves by half or more but was still acceptable to the majority of responsible dog owners. We fully expected this to be the recommendation going to council, […]
Poop Plant Personnel Change
There is sure to be a stink when you work with people and poop. Boise City officials have made a personnel change at the Lander Street sewage treatment facility which on the face of it looks like a demotion for the former plant manager. For more than two years the GUARDIAN–and other media outlets–have received […]
Police Perform Poop Patrol

Police Plan Pistol Practice At Poop Project
Looks like the pistol packing police plan to practice plinking at the poop project.

No Avimor Poop For Boise
We recently got a whiff of pending plans on the prospects of placing poop from Avimor in Boise. The GUARDIAN broke what is really a significant story last month in the saga of the planned community in northern Ada County and the subject of AVIMOR POOP . We revealed the developer wants to use a […]

Poop Plant Wins Plaudits
The people at the City poop plant are flush with pride and tooting their horn over winning “the wastewater equivalent of an Emmy.” According to a press release sent to the GUARDIAN, the West Boise Wastewater Treatment Plant has earned a “Platinum Peak Performance Award”… for the proper processing of people’s poop. We can just […]
Poop Problems On Public Paths
Next time the North End Greenies want $10 million to “save the foothills” take note of the prolific piles of poop present on the pedestrian paths. In England the GUARDIAN took note of a polite sign which converts to about $40. Those Brits sure know how to use the language. In a lead front page […]
Poop Hits The Propeller At Airport
Looks like the proverbial poop has hit the propeller at the airport. Confidential GUARDIAN sources tell us Airport Police Chief Mike Johnson is “retiring” and we hear not only will he not be replaced–the airport police agency he commanded is being DISSOLVED. For some reason the airport had its own police agency apart from BPD. […]
EPA Sniffing Meridian Poop Process
Now it’s Meridian’s turn to have a close inspection of poop processing and products passed into the river.

Feds Pay Poop Farm Subsidy
One of Ada County’s biggest recipients of farm subsidy (welfare) payments from the U.S. Government last year was none other than Boise City’s “Poop Farm” which qualified for $30,577 in welfare. No word from the city if the money found its way into the general fund and got swallowed up or was added to the […]
Boise BS On Poop Farm
The GUARDIAN has obtained a draft of Boise’s Poop Farm audit. It has taken nearly a year to be released due to criminal investigations.

Poop Plant Perks Popped
Should Boise Public Works Department employees be allowed to use city-owned tools and equipment for their own personal and business projects? Is it ethical for city department supervisors to HIRE subordinates to work in off duty moonlighting jobs? The practice has the potential of subordinates being “favored” at their city job or “intimidated” into helping […]
