[Vision2020] Moscow Chamber of Commerce, City Council, and re: IfYou Look Yo

Sun Jan 21 16:30:34 PST 2007

That's the second time in as many days that Courtney has gotten a hold of a 
letter written to the Mayor even before they are made public...i.e. through 
the Freedom of Information Act.  So, Dale - you got a mole in the City Hall  
or are you just getting cc'd any letter that a kirker sends to the City?  
And why would you?  Anyone else send you letters like that or is it just a 
kirker quirk?  And just how demonstrative of what kind of actions and puppet 
strings Mike would be attached to IF the Mayor allowed him to be appointed 
to fill John's seat?  Do we really need another puppet working for the City 
or is the City Staff enough for you all?  Don't bother answering that...the 
answer is rather obvious.
