It’s pretty cool to be walking around downtown Boise and see all the competitors from various countries enjoying our beautiful city. The Special Olympics brings a very nice glow to what’s otherwise been a very dreary winter. It’s also a great contrast to the horde of legislators and lobbyists who give Boise such a bad name this time of year (with the exception of DOTC, who is always welcome).
