Franzen letter: COMPASS
I would like to comment on COMPASS communication public awareness. They want to raise taxes on fuel registrations and other items. They claim they need $150 million to make it work. They claim it is less than $2 a day from every household, which doing the math is $750 a year. They had 15 different agencies from Ada and Canyon counties doing this study. That should say something there. I suggest they budget better. Maybe cut down on the bonus, or raises. Retired military, active military, Social Security people all have to live with part of a percent raise in cost of living each year, why can’t these people? Just another agency that answers to no one and cannot do their jobs right, so they want money.
