<P>I really hope that someone will correct me if I am wrong about Jack Hill's record. But this is what I believe to be true about his record:</P>
<P>1) Voted for the nudity ordinance</P></DIV>
<P>2) Voted for the multimillion dollar gymasium.</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>3) Fought to make sure that "Sexual Orientation" was NOT included in Moscow's anti-discrimination laws.</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>I could be wrong about this. But this is what I have been told and seen him vote on at my visits to the City Council.</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>This may or may not be good news depending on your views of the issues. But if true it should be considered when voting.</P>
