We read with interest the three essays of candidates for Caldwell City Council yesterday in the Idaho Press Tribune. An observation in a essay written by Mr. Rem Fox jumped out at THE GUARDIAN. Business is so good in Caldwell the Mayor's daughter has closed up a juice and coffee shop business in Caldwell and has moved to the fair City of Eagle.
The juice business was handed over to Mayor Nancolas' daughter last year when the former operator moved downtown to take over the coffee and sandwich shop in TVCC. The operator at the TVCC operation closed up shop for reasons not known and did not renew the lease from Caldwell East Urban Renewal Agency for this academic year. This year there is a new operator for the TVCC food service operation. However, the Mayor's daughter vacated the premises of the business that was handed over to her and is now in Eagle trying to make a go of it. Not even the Mayor's daughter could make a go of it in Caldwell .
Economic development and opportunity in Caldwell appears to not be as good as Mayor Nancolas has professed. Caldwell's pied piper of good news missed the mark again.
Nicely done Paul. The irony of this is just too much.
ReplyDeleteThings are not great in Caldwell despite what we get from Mayor Nancolas and the City Council members running for reelection. If there is a fork in the road, one good and one bad, it seems like city officials will somehow manage to take the worst option. I do not know if I could do any better but I do know the lack of discussion and debate over issues impacting Caldwell citizens aren't getting the proper scrutiny by City Council members. I am concerned to learn the only NO vote in the last year and a half was cast by Jim Blacker over liquor sales on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the name of the coffee shop? I don't recogize that area. I think many Caldwell businesses could do better if they did more advertising and had some creative marketing deals for the customers.
