Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Bonners Ferry…Why no financial data on the city website? Why no financials other than salaries on the state website? It would be nice to see a breakdown on the extra 1% that is collected year-round and spent by the council. It would be nice to see quarterly financials, yearly budget breakdown, yearly audits, etc.
There is a four-year-old Urban Renewal District report on the website. It would be nice to see those posted every year so we can see how much money is diverted.

Good to hear from you Rosanne!! You are spot on as usual. It’s business as usual and not much accountability. They always want more from us due to their lack of accounting of where it goes. Good to see you know about the 1% tax added because of mis-financing. I can’t help but wonder why we always have to bail them out. One issue I’ve been wondering about is, since I’ve here I’ve never received any water evaluation report about what additives and conditions our water status is. We get a statement monthly stating our usage but never about water quality besides usage. Humm I guess they think we’re too stupid to understand anything outside a statement.
