Thursday October 15th 2009 Dear Citizens of Nampa, On Thursday October 15th a Nampa Citizen, Mr. Alan Marsh wrote a letter to the editor in The Idaho Press Tribune that contained falsehoods about me and my candidacy. First he said that I ran as a Democrat for Mayor of Lansing MI. when that race is totally non-partisan. Mr. Marsh failed to inform you that I also was a member of the Republican Party at one time and even helped George H.W. Bush in his campaign in 1992. It is true that I ran as a Democrat for State Rep. in Michigan at one time, however I am not affiliated with any parties as I take a little from both parties in my way of thinking. Mr. Marsh also said that I advocated gay marriage which is totally untrue. As mayor of Nampa I would never try to push an agenda on Nampa citizens that they were against. He also said that the NAATP advocated gay marriage on their website. The NAATP doesn't have a website and was disbanded by me in 2004. There is a group on Yahoo called the NAATP, but I am not one of...

What is Bus Rapid Transit? What could BRT mean for Nampa and The Treasure Valley? BRT is an innovative, high capacity, lower cost public transit solution that can significantly improve urban mobility. This permanent, integrated system uses buses or specialized vehicles on roadways or dedicated lanes to quickly and efficiently transport passengers to their destinations, while offering the flexibility to meet transit demand. BRT systems can easily be customized to community needs and incorporate state-of-the-art, low-cost technologies that result in more passengers and less congestion. After reading the plan below (go to link) I know that this will work and I want it to start in Nampa. http://www.nbrti.org/docs/pdf/ITDP%20BRT%20Planning%20Guide.

* Stable city management by a professional, accredited City Administrator free of partisan politics

* Apportionment of the City Council for truer representative government

* Accreditation of the Boise Police Department and reconstitution of the Office of the Police Ombudsman's Office into an "Office of the Citizen's Advocate" for all of City Government. An office found in good government everywhere.

* Efficiency, transparency and control with absorption of the various components of Boise's Shadow Government into City Government

* Inspiring, proactive infrastructure development and healthy, sustainable growth delivered by a City Hall more concerned with actual livability than with livability slogans

The Office of the Mayor's budget, compensation and responsibilities dramatically reduced, becoming a Councilman-at-Large with ultra v powers. A Professional, accredited City admistrator vetted and...

what is up with this place again! My wife and our two friends went in last week and we stood there for over 10 and no one in site. It also appears that several of the merchandise is gone. Does anyone know if this place is yet again changing. Such a waste of space. I here the owner is a total idiot!

As reported on extensively by Mr. Frazier @ the Boise Guardian and elsewhere, our illustrious leaders are seemingly incapable of creating a simple Traffic Mall and have even screwed the pooch so bad that the city stands to loose millions of Federal Dollars to build it and are scrambling like tweekers to put something - anything - in place.

I’m constantly amazed by the short term thinking encountered.

Like when the Flying M Coffee House on Idaho Street (otherwise an ostensibly socially conscious company) bitched and moaned about potentially loosing 2 or 3 Metered Parking Spaces to accommodate a Bus Stop in Front of their place.

What… Bus riders don’t drink coffee? Try telling that to Dawson’s, Thomas Hammer and Starbuck’s.

Granted, the vast majority of Boiseans would rather be boiled in oil alive than ** gasp ** set foot on public transportation, and the public perception is often one where the only users of public transportation are immigrants, freaks, people who have lost their licenses, etc., AND the powers that...
