[Vision2020] Only Christians Need Apply???

[deb]

Please send this, verbatim, to the Lewiston Morning Tribune, knowing that 
the Moscow/Pullman Daily Snooze is under the same influence as Miz Chantelle 
and is unlikely to take this any further....

> Not only does the sheriff's office put new people through 12 weeks of

> But there's more!

> "You are issued a handgun and rifle, and you get to work for Sheriff Wayne
