Fuller letter: No to CWI bond

What are the politicians smoking? Marijuana? Crack or something worse? Do they really think the people will pass the $180 million bond issue for the College of Western Idaho?

Why should taxpayers spend this kind of money for a job training facility (don’t call it a college) designed to provide the tax-exempt hospitals with free apprenticeship programs. How can people afford a new tax when hospital care is already outrageously expensive, insurance premiums are going through the roof, and Obamacare is destroying what little is left of the middle class. Karl Marx must be laughing in his grave.

Charles Fuller, Nampa
