How does this happen in Idaho? Idaho has a relatively conservative state government that should be able to vote to stop this.
When you control the institutions, the government doesn’t matter.
That’s why we can’t vote our way out of this.
Voter apathy. The Boise Mayor , McLean (Massachusetts transplant) won the election with 43% voter turnout. And this is her second term. First term was won with less, 40%. That resulted in a runoff which drew a paltry 20% voters. In that election the republicans put up previous mayor Brent Coles whose term ended with a stalker conviction.
Yeah, go republican party, way to bring your base enthusiasm into it. Granted you said State Gov. and this is more local but Boise is the capital.
