Not Unique in Idaho
Here’s a quote for you:
How does a multi-million dollar project get started without any financial documents or agreements? And why aren’t these financials out for the public to review? Short answer is corrupt government.
Nope, it’s not the LCDC, but it’s here in Idaho. Read the article. Apparently we don’t just have an “urban renewal” problem up north.
