The Facilities Planning Committee IS a Government organization. They are NOT 
randomly chosen members of the community. Many on the committee are paid MSD 
employees. I believe every school had a representative in the process with 
the exception of Mc Donald. Which is probably why they got screwed in the 
deal.

The Facilities Planning Committee is also using the Incubator. Someone is 
paying for the opening, closing and maintenance of that building. Those 
people are the taxpayers.

I am NOT downplaying the work of the FPC. They have worked very hard on 
these proposals and should be thanked for their time and service.

But it is a government organization and is subject to local, federal and 
state laws regarding conflict of interest.

Take Care,

Donovan J Arnold
