A new week, but lots of unresolved issues in our community: Election challenge, NIC lawsuit, LCDC, County Commissioners races, upcoming Primary elections, McEuen Field plans, and so much more… What’s on your mind as we start into what’s left of April?

Saw the LCDC meeting last night. They appear to be über concerned about people altering their online records. I don’t see the point: What the LCDC does is ridiculous enough; no one needs to alter their records. If they have evidence of someone altering their records, then they should let the public know what’s been altered or go after whomever is changing their records. Still, they didn’t cite any specifics, just prattled on and on about online security and non-editable document formats.
The entire discussion made them look quite paranoid in my eyes.

Well Dan, you are capturing images of their “records” and they don’t like it! Now they can claim FAKE FAKE FAKE! Fortunately, those records were published on the Press and can be authenticated, however any other records that other citizens may request have to be backed up with additional similar requests by others in order to prove their authenticity OR lack of their own authenticity which of course we know now – is akin to sucking the juice out of dried prunes. If anyone publishes/exposes anything that looks questionable, then they can claim FRAUD and hire their spit fire attorneys to go after us and claim they never sent it! They know exactly what they are doing.
I will have to catch that meeting.
They/we should be more worried about hackers getting into their/our bank accounts – which I read is happening. There are people out there that are considered legal and they are called “money mules” There was an article on the S-R the other day worth reading. I hate to link this, but it’s a good read.

Idaho Freedom Foundation published another URD article.
This time they pointed out more nepotism. Taxpayers have paid out more than 20,000 dollars to the ULI -Urban Land Institute. The LCDC gave them just over $11,5000. I guess that funded some real estate presentations? The rest came from a Boise URA for similar things.
Diane Kushlan is the ULI-Idaho District Council Coordinator. Her husband is the CCDC Executive – Director Phil Kushlan of the Boise Capital City Development Corporation (CCDC)

I am sorry I am drawing this out into so many posts, but I found this and it’s worth noting.
ULI Idaho – Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2010 AT THE KROC CENTER!
We paid for this nice little frigging get together to the tune of $11,500+? Please will someone tell me I have this wrong?

$11,500 for a get together? Do you know where it was held and the reason?
Comment by citizen — April 26, 2010 @ 7:03 pm
citizen,
The link kind of explains at least one of them – Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2010.
I think the 11,500+ was for a span of years,just not sure what, how, why, or who got the money for these gatherings. The one I linked to is the only one I know of –.
However, I am working on getting the info and breakdown of the amount published.

Dan, They are concerned with the alteration of their records no matter whether they be online or in print or in the hands of someone who makes a public records request simply to review them. I would think Mr. Berns is capable of issuing a press release to deal with any alteration.

I am more concerned about alteration of the public records when they’re inside the walls of the LCDC offices than I am from anyone outside.

Well, I altered their logo over at my place.
