This is the first post that I have made since July, but it is that important. Raul Labrador and his minions don’t really value life, don’t really respect personal autonomy, don’t really believe in freedom. They love authoritarianism. #housing #homelessness

Last week, Idaho and Montana filed an amicus brief in support of the City of Grants Pass request for certiorari to SCOTUS seeking to reverse the 9th Circuit’s prior decision in Martin v. City of Boise and recent adverse ruling against Grants Pass.

I had hoped that some were right and that Winder’s bills SB1187 and SB1188 were just a gambit to give the RW something they wanted and to get to Sine Die. I am wrong. /1 #idleg #1stAmendment After thinking about SB1187 and SB1188 and rereading them and after evaluating them, are far worse than I had initially thought. /2 #idleg

lot of discussion about how to address the challenges facing urban centers and commercial real estate. #BOMA #Homelessness #Housing #CRE I have also done a couple of interviews for news and podcasts back in Boise about my work for @sanctuaryBoise #BOMA #Homelessness

@BOMAIntl Winter Business Meeting keynote lunch. #bomawbm Robert Costa is our guest #BOMAWBM #BOMA

@BOMAIntl Government Affairs committee is up next. Federal Legislative Priorities have expanded to Environmental policy, workforce development and infrastructure beyond focus on tax policy. #BOMA #CRE

@BOMAIntl Codes and Standards committee is meeting this morning. @IntlCodeCouncil is developing a national Existing Building Inspection Guide. The Florida version is already available. Significant efforts have been expended to address issues post Surfside collapse. #BOMA

To my friends and family, this is not the doctrine of @Ch_JesusChrist and the fact that a BYU Professor and a member of the General Young Men’s Presidency would treat the issue of Race and the Priesthood like this is not acceptable.

And, if you go look for the four part essay regarding Race and the Priesthood of Ahmad Corbitt, who serves in the General Ypung Men’s Presidency as First Councilor, you can no longer easily find it. In the Church’s web materials.

DC Fire Marshall Mitchell Kannary presents this morning to the @BOMAIntl Preparedness Committee #CRE #BOMA Don’t make your building less safe and effective by interrupting your building’s fire safety systems.
Don’t prop doors open.
Keep doors closed.
Keep stairwells clear.

So is Glenn Youngkin what you get if Brett Kavanaugh had decided to run for office instead of pursue a career in the judiciary? Asking for a friend. Smarmy Frat Boy Conservatism is just not for me. #GOPHypocrisy #NotMyGOP Exhibit A

I am proud of the work that @ClarkWardleLaw has been able to do for @SanctuaryBoise with the conclusion of last night's public testimony, it is impossible to rebut 14+ hours of statements and testimony in hearings in 5 minutes. Here is my rebuttal that was truncated last night: The flame of outrage and fear has been evident. Before you close the public record, if there are questions you believe still need to be answered then please ask them.

Sorry to those that follow me for snarky political and real estate and soccer takes. The following is a serious thread about #BYU and #MormonStuff and our #LGBTQ friends and family I have had some feedback about my comments on Elder Holland’s talk and think it appropriate to further elaborate.

Remember when Republicans were giddy with Justice Thomas for upholding the ability to require drug tests of ALL students involved in extra curricular activities in Board of Education of Independent School District of Pottawatomie County, et al. v. Earls? #4thAmendment And remember when Republicans assured us that extracurricular activities are so important we need a statute to permit school districts to check the genitalia of students? #4thAmendment idahostatejournal.com/freeaccess/ida…

A few more thoughts on HB389 after reviewing some additional budgets for taxing districts last night #idleg There will be a fight on the 8% cap, is it a cap on budgets, is it a cap on property tax increases for budgets? Those are not the same and the cap is poorly drafted. #idleg

So three of the most conservative anti government members of the #idleg House, Scott, Barbieri and Moon object to not getting their per diem while they are recessed? #GOPHypocrisy

Scott - “The rent down here is super high.” Why yes, yes it is. #idleg #gohome

On a much more serious note about the #idleg, @ClarkWardleLaw is really concerned that the new tax bill that just passed the Idaho Senate will have a very deleterious impact on small taxing districts without significant tax bases. #HB389 is a poorly developed grab back of random tax measures.

@KristinWardle my time is being wasted with this Idaho Initiative Initiative, or the 3I.  I disagree.  Wasting time in defense of uselessness is no vice.  #idleg #initiative Anyway, let me introduce Initiative 4 #idleg #initiative

#Idleg #initiatives Think of it as the Initiating Initiative. It keeps people like Rep. Hanks or the former Rep from Lewiston who shall not be named from introducing poorly drafted legislation. #Idleg #initiatives

In light of the #IDLeg apparent fear of #initiatives I think we need to move in to the rent free space they have afforded voters. So I am announcing my intention to put 105 Initiatives on the November 2022 ballot. One for each member of the #IDLeg #initiatives

Fellow Sane Idahoans, don't let the #idleg and #IDiots and #COVIdiots get you down. Now, if you have complained about the #idleg but you voted for Ryan Davidson, you need to go spend some time alone for some serious personal introspection because you did a bad bad thing.

Today @KristinWardle and I celebrate our 30th Anniversary.  April 12 is our anniversary because it was the only week that worked with our academic calendars in 1991 as we both were racing to try to get done with school, while attending different universities One was on semesters the other on quarters.  She was done with her semester and had more time off before her summer term, so we took a few days, got married, and then threw ourselves back into school and work.
