Adams Huffs About Ed Corridor

Councilman Steve Adams made the following comment to Jon Mueller during discussion of a proposed zone change for the Education Corridor: The whole entire Ed Corridor project got scrutiny from its very inception mainly due to the funding process, the complicated, back door method, bypassing Article 8 Section 3 of the Idaho Constitution for long term capital debt.  Also, using outdated potentially improper appraisal that has brought a lot of questions from the community, it has brought a lawsuit. I am just wondering if you anticipate that this will be the continued funding method of the college for any projects that are going to exceed the fiscal year’s budget." Later, City Attorney Mike Gridley (pictured) commented: "I know the law suit was thrown out by the court.  There has been no violation of the Idaho Constitution, the funding is legal. ... the question you asked contains false information."
