You think property taxes in Ada County are bad now, with more than a 41 percent increase in just the past five years? Just wait, it’s going to get a lot worse!
Last Wednesday, May 2, I submitted the following public records request to the Board of Ada County Commissioners: “I would like a copy of the county’s most recent list of all proposed capital improvements that includes anticipated costs for all of the projects listed. Thank you!”
Today, I received a letter telling me it will take more than three days to process my request.
I merely requested they send me, through e-mail, a copy of an existing document. The county has added an employee specifically for the purpose of responding to public records requests. That employee is Benny Poole, a buddy of Commissioner Dave Case, who was originally hired to work at the landfill but who now responds to public records requests.
Ask yourself this question: What is it the county so desperate to hide until it is too late to have an impact on the upcoming May 15 Primary Election?
Thanks for keeping us up to date on all the shenanigans going on!
You’re very welcome, Al!
