These bonds pay 5.23% interest. Nampa is borrowing money at 5.23% and loaning it out at 2%? What are these dummies thinking?<br />IT ISN'T THEIR MONEY!!!!<br />THESE DUMMIES ARE LETTING THE TAXPAYERS BE TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS BY THESE PROMOTERS!!! <br />More Ada county silk suits coming over to Canyon county, selling the stupid Mayors a stupid plan to take the taxpayers hard earned money!!!

The outfit out of Seattle at least has a public record of successful projects. How they could endorse this secret concept is beyond my ability to comprehend.<br /><br />If a citizen were to submit a letter to the editor or a guest opinion on a project like this the maven's of print would want all manner of proof the project would be viable. It is almost like the more outrageous a project is the more support it will receive from the paper as well as elected officials.<br /><br />I think it would be nice to see the science backing this up before a penny of public money gets spent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157230973290376625.post-27478555738179295302011-05-16T09:15:38.828-06:002011-05-16T09:15:38.828-06:00There is a second meeting scheduled for today 5-1...There is a second meeting scheduled for today 5-16-11 to ok the spending of an additional $150,000 to sudy this issue.Just more of our tax money down the toilet.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157230973290376625.post-29281926978136720182011-05-16T08:13:48.572-06:002011-05-16T08:13:48.572-06:00Well, all the fools ain't dead yet.

It is no different than the process to reduce coal dust to charcoal. You don't get any "magic" from the process. It takes combustible material, carbonizes it in a reduced O2 atmosphere using natural gas for this part of the process. The carbonized waste is then burned to make steam to run a stem turbine that will be connected to a generator.<br /><br />Every wood stove on the market today works the same way. A whole cord of wood gets reduced to very small volume of ash material. <br /><br />This project needs to be DOA before Nampa City Council pours $250K down a rat hole. My fears are they have been mesmerized by the people trying to sell this as somethingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157230973290376625.post-27019535335866134612011-05-15T20:52:24.922-06:002011-05-15T20:52:24.922-06:00This deal makes about as much sense as some of our...This deal makes about as much sense as some of our other so called investments.
