[Vision2020] Wheaton Story in paper

Perhaps one or the other can replace the current Council member who, when
serving on a commission, thought those in the audience didn't need to hear
what was being discussed in the public meeting by the commission members and
who, in fact, was INCREDIBLY RUDE to an elderly man who requested the board
members speak up so they could be heard.
It was my opinion that had more Moscow citizens been at that meeting -- or
if videos of those meetings were available or had that meeting been covered
by the press (assuming we had a real newspaper, which we don't appear to
have) -- that particular current Council member never would have been
elected. It was one of the more shameful displays I've ever seen in a
public meeting :-(((
