Saving Boise with Bill Cooper: Leadership, Taxes and Voter Turnout

Is Boise politically settled, or have too many voters simply stopped showing up?

Bill Cooper believes Boise is winnable. The retired police chief, author and Ada County GOP Strategy and Planning Committee Chair joins Dylan Stocker for a direct conversation about what it would take to change the city’s political direction.

We discuss property taxes, city spending, Mayor Lauren McLean’s leadership, public safety and the relationship between elected officials and police leadership. Bill explains his approach to recruiting and training candidates, improving campaign messaging and building an organization that produces measurable results.

What does a candidate actually offer your family, your business and your community? And what can one person do to get more people involved?

Activity times effectiveness equals results. This conversation is about putting that idea to work.
