Paul Kimmell was elected Latah County Commissioner, so he works for the 
best interests of the people of Latah County.
Paul Kimmell became the director of the Moscow Chamber of Commerce, so 
he works for the best interests of the business community in Moscow.
And now we discover, thanks to the article on the front page of the 
Daily News last night (7/27) and in the Lewiston Tribune today (7/28), 
that Paul Kimmell has been a consultant hired by Christ Church (besides 
being a church member and advisor to the church's New St. Andrews 
college), and therefore working for the best interests of Christ Church.
Does anybody else see that Kimmell can not serve that many masters.  The 
best interests of Christ Church, the local business community, and the 
people of Latah County are just not the same. 
A few examples? 
How about the recent Commissioner decision to allow that gravel pit near 
Viola?  That may have been in the best interest of the business 
community, but what about the people of the county?
How about the Commissioners' decisions to rubberstamp property tax 
exemptions for all of the Christ Church businesses?  That may have 
served the Church, but again -- what about the people of the county?
