[Vision2020] Property tax cut?

[J Ford]

Have you noticed the increase in State Police in the area?  We see at least 
two different ones every day, now.  Anyone know what that is about?  Does 
the City pay for them to be here or are they just on an increased patrol 
area that now includes Moscow?  No, they are not just "cruising" through.  
We have seen them issueing tickets to people on the road in town.  IF the 
City is contracting to have them here, why can't they just use that money to 
increase what is obviously an undersized MPD?

And what are you doing, Debra Gray, using your Uidaho mail system to send 
things to V2020?  Isn't that against the UI policy?  You may be at lunch, 
but from what I remember reading, you can't be using your business computer 
for non-UI related mail traffic, no matter the time of day or your current 
work status.  THAT is considered abuse.
