As is noted in recent statistics. I’ve been so busy with our local politics i can’t even watch college football!! A USC fan though not BSU.

As more and more liberals move in to stake claim to Boise the conservative leaning type will feel out of place or unwelcome and move out. The displacement then snowballs. It's the same story over and over. Boise is SLC and Meridian is Provo. Hmm... what's Eagle?

Eagle does not attract liberals. Most of the libs I’m meeting at our local political events are long time Eagle residents. And the actual majority of those moving to Ada County are from Canyon County. The problem is the conservatives moving here from out of state take it for granted that they have moved to a red state. The liberals are organized and are moving in rapidly to turn the State blue.

Getting involved at the local level is critical. Watching your city government, subscribing to city council meeting notices, attending or watching meeting minutes online, etc. And our county government is in a similar state.
