[Vision2020] RE: Tribune uncovers new Moscowpro-growth gro

[Matt Decker]

J Ford and V 2020,

Why don't your give them a chance before your make snotty little remarks and 
automatically dismissing them.

Remember this(GMA) group was established because of the Mark Solomans, Diane 
Frenchs, and the MCA groups that back up their no growth attitudes. Smart 
Growth, Please. Disguise it however you like, but it just adds up to little 
or nil growth. The attitudes of these people are just to aggressive for 
Moscow. Yes some of the people in the group have lives outside of the 
computer, that depend on growth, including myself.

See what we can do first before belittling us to a bunch of money crazed 
good ol boy. This group also wants what is best for Moscow.

MD

Matt
