You’ve put a little money aside all week for your “going out to eat fund,” and you’re ready to hit the town and grab some grub.

But did you bring some extra money to pay for valet parking in downtown Boise?

SCROLL TO READ: Does Boise, Idaho Want Valet-Only Parking Downtown?

–

–

Yes, there are currently a few businesses and locations in downtown Boise, Idaho that provide you with valet parking upon request. Don’t want to have to walk all the way from the parking garage? Too hot out? Is it raining? Just valet!

But, would you use the service if it were required to park in Boise?

We can’t imagine the absolute engineering nightmare it’d be trying to convert every single Boise business and parking lot to valet-only. While valet is usually around to handle traffic jams and avoid congestion in parking lots, would requiring each and every structure, business, and destination in Boise make for a more enjoyable experience while visiting downtown?

Would you support Boise going to valet-only policy downtown?

Also, yes you are expected to tip your valet driver. Per ValetConnections.com:

A general rule of thumb? Between $3 and $5 per car, or you could go with a small percentage of the overall parking fee. You’ll need to also consider the level of service provided.

Meaning, if valet becomes a required service in Boise, you can expect to shell out a few extra dollars every single time you go out, even if you don’t want to use the valet service.

Maybe it’s not the best idea.

BOISE – A federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana has sided with Attorney General Raúl Labrador and the attorneys general from Louisiana, Montana, and Mississippi, issuing a preliminary injunction against the new Title IX rules pushed by President Biden’s Department of Education. The new rules misinterpret Title IX’s ban on sex discrimination and would now require schools to allow students access to bathrooms and locker rooms inconsistent with their sex. The new rules were scheduled to take effect August 1st.

This preliminary injunction applies to the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, and Idaho and prevents the new rules from going into effect pending further review by the district court.

“I am grateful for this first-in-the-nation injunction on the Title IX rules, and that Idaho girls and women will be protected,” said Attorney General Labrador.  “The new definition of discrimination that includes gender identity would have a profound impact on the advancements Title IX has made for girls and women in our society. With a single act, the Biden Administration threatened decades of progress and opportunities for females and jeopardized their rights to safety and access within our education system.  This is a tremendous victory, and we are confident we will continue to prevail in court.”

Judge Terry Doughty issued the injunction Thursday, siding with plaintiff states, agreeing that the rules are unlawful.  In his ruling, Judge Doughty confirmed that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in showing the rules violate Title IX, the First Amendment, and the Spending Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

These illegal new rules would apply burdensome requirements on nearly every school, college, and university in Idaho and across the nation. This would have deprived women and girls of the equal educational opportunities they struggled for decades to secure, and cost states billions of dollars to implement. The new rules would also violate First Amendment rights for students and teachers and could prompt Idaho school districts to lose Title IX funding, and likely face numerous lawsuits.
