[Vision2020] City Taxes, again

[Donovan Arnold]

Dale,

I suggest you talk to this man:

Lincks, Dennis

Phone: (208) 885-9220
Email: dennis@uidaho.edu
Title: Splst, Stdt Rcds Srvcs

He knows all those student numbers very well. His office is in the Student 
Union Building if you want to talk to him. Why the Students Union Building? 
Well, the administration took it over, but don't worry, the students still 
pay for the building.
