[Vision2020] Moscow Aquifer

[Donovan Arnold]

Mr. Schroeder,

I hope the Idaho Tax Payer is not forking out the dough to pay for an event 
at the prestigious Templin resort when you could have it for free at North 
Idaho College?

If Mr. Templin is allotting his space and services for free then please send 
him my words of gratitude.


Concerned Voter,

Donovan J Arnold
