Idaho Blogs: Great State of Ada — IdaBlue

Some folks who don't live in Ada County call it the Great State of Ada. I see quite a bit of this anti-Ada/Boise sentiment by N. Idaho commenters at Huckleberries Online. Here's an example. DFO, the proprietor of HBO, poised the first question below, and a poster (Spencer) reframed it against Ada County.

(Spencer: How about asking if the legislature did the right thing by not raising $200 million in taxes to fix Ada county roads?)" I guess the point is, gee, they don't want their tax money spent in Ada Cty, which is understandable but parochial. So, let's have a look at the facts/IdaBlue. More here
