Your Thoughts: Mayor Bieter "Unplugged"

What Questions Do You Have For Mayor Bieter?

Now is your chance to voice your opinion on issues affecting you. As a young professional in the Boise area, what needs do you have and how can your city's Mayor help with these issues? Better yet, what can you do about it?

On Thursday, December 7, 2006 the Boise Young Professionals (BYP) will have an open forum for discussion with Boise's Mayor Dave Bieter. Questions posted as comments on this blog will help determine the dialog for the event.

The event will be held at the Visual Arts Collective (1419 W. Grove St., Boise) from 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. Doors open at 4:30 and the event will begin at 5:00 p.m. Only 215 seats are available for this event, so register soon. The event is FREE to all BYP members and $15 for non-members.

I have attended the Mayor's State of the City address for the last couple of years, and in both speeches Mayor Bieter has mentioned a commuter train from Nampa to Boise. I was wondering what progress has been made on this issue, if any, and how the Mayor plans on seeing this vision through to fruition.

I think this is a wonderful idea that will help alleviate traffic congestion on our roads and reduce the dreaded pollution induced inversions during the winter. I do not want the Treasure Valley to look like L.A. in 10 years. Something needs to be done now.

I would like to hear Mayor Bieter discuss his thoughts and ideas on attracting and retaining business in the Boise area. In addition to his views and a status report on a light rail system for the Treasure Valley, what are his plans for managing growth?

The citizens of Boise were recently asked to vote on a bond issue for additional funding for libraries. This initiative was not passed by the citizens, however it is my understanding that the City is continuing to pursue this endeavor. How can the city justify moving forward with such projects if the people of Boise have voted against it?

I understand the Mayor’s Office is considering wireless internet service within the downtown corridor and potentially other areas of the city as well. How do you envision this working within the community, including working with/competing with private enterprise?

With the negative publicity in the media recently regarding public officials and mistrust, deceit, etc., what actions are your office taking to counteract the negativity and to develop trust in the eyes of the public again?

Education in Idaho seems to be so low on the priority list. There is always talk of making it better, but very little is done. What progress are you making in the Boise School District, since they tend to set the standard for the rest of the state?
