Mayor Inappropriate On Inquest
The GUARDIAN finds it disturbing that Boise Mayor Dave Bieter has been communicating with the Coroner behind the scenes over a case involving one of Bieter’s cops. We agree the on-again-off-again-on-again inquest and surrounding publicity in the midst of a city election is a bungling effort at best. However, the mayor is out of line […]
He Said, She Said, They Said

It may sound oxymoronic (for you non-library types that means contradictory) but some honest […]
G-BAD Losing Streak Continues
The Greater Boise Auditorium District has lost two elections and now an Idaho Supreme Court Decision in its efforts to build a convention center the public clearly does not support. Thursday the high court ruled the G-BAD could not use public moneys for the purposes of influencing the outcome of an election. The suit was […]
