I just wish they'd see the damage they inflict not just to Boise, but in many cities and towns across Idaho and their ability to govern effectively. The idea that "Imperial Idaho" has to make these laws that ban cities from being able to govern and plan effectively and doing it under the guise of "it's for our own good" goes wildly against the principals of conservatism and, as an aside, makes any argument against removing Federal Gov't control over Idaho lands seem incredibly hypocritical.
