[Vision2020] "The Final Solution" by Voting Yes on Feb. 6

[Donovan Arnold]

Some people on this list ignore the fact that they are voting to remove the indigent disabled and elderly from the community and that Gritman can build a new building for cheaper than what they want they want to do with the LHS building. Don't for that reality. 
   
  You want to take away the home of the elderly, without providing them another home in the community, then spend millions retrofitting the building to do what you could for millions less by just building a new building. Where is the logic in this plan??
   
  You are throwing away prized members of the community and tax dollars too. 
   
  Not only is this unethical, it is grossly economically unsound. 
   
  Ask yourself this question; Where are you planning to place the indigent elderly and disabled
  of Latah? Shouldn't that be our BIGGEST concern. Gier and Gritman ignore this problem. 
   
  You have to answer that question before giving away their home. You have not done that, and that is irresponsible. 
   
  If you want to build all that stuff do it, but do it for cheaper and not at the expense of the indigent. 
   
  If you think that the County Commissioners are so incompetent, why are you following their recommendations now? Did they suddenly before competent in their decisions regarding LHS?
   
  Go ahead Gier, support shipping those that cannot afford private care out of the community, they are obviously too much a bother for you. It is easier to pretend we are doing something good by providing lip service then actually doing something to help people. 
   
  Don't evict the indigent elderly permanently from Moscow by voting for this. Just because the building is shut down now, doesn't mean it has to stay that way forever. Stop exporting our indigent elderly to outside communities, it is a disgusting stressful thing to do to them and their families. Vote to keep Grandma in town, not to die in a strange town. 
   
  Best,

  Greetings:

Some people on this list would be great propagandists with their ability to distort the truth.

The people who are organizing a Yes vote for selling Latah Health Services(LHS) to Gritman had nothing to do with the tragic eviction of those in assisted living and skilled nursing. If the County Commissioners wanted these services to continue it should have run a bond issue in order to upgrade the facility and pay off LHS debts.

Now that county officials have failed its patrons, the only good option is for Gritman to take over the entire facility.

The critic this morning on our list ignores three facts:

1. Gritman is expanding its Adult Day Health program, which will pick up more people who otherwise would need assisted living.

2. Gritman currently has three operators in mind who might offer assisted living at the new facility.

3. Gritman is thinking of offering indigent health care at its new wellness center.

Finally, some of you may have seen the signs on Beebe's property urging people to vote No. On Friday the city attorney actually gave us permission to take them down because they were in the city's right-of-way. We decided against such a provocative action.

Those driving south out of Moscow will soon see a large sign on Gritman property informing them that the No signs have been put up by developers who want to raise LHS to the ground and put a new car dealership there.

We are confident that Latah County residents will vote for the Gritman Wellness Center for long term gains, rather than a quick profit for a facility that will ruin the l NW corner of 95 and Palouse River Drive.

Vote Yes on Monday at the Court House or vote Yes on Tuesday at the Kibbie Dome or Fair Grounds, depending on your precinct.
