[Vision2020] campaign contributions

[Donovan Arnold]

Tom Hansen,
   
  I was talking to Tom Ivie. Just so we are clear and don't have this confusion again, I don't ever care to hear your opinion. 
   
  Best,

  I have absolutely no idea, Arnold.  Nor do I care to know.  It is simply none of my business.
   
  I vote for people that reflect and support my priorities, whether it be ensuring neighborhood safety, support for police unions, or simply enforcing zoning codes.
   
  I never consider a candidate’s financial worth when I mark my ballot.
   
  And you? 
    Seeya round town, Moscow.

    Tom,

     

    The average household income in Latah is $30,000 a year. Can you name 2, or just 15%, of the over 30 elected officials (not counting precinct chairs) in all of Latah that has a household income below that amount? Please let us know.

     

    Best,

    Ha haha.  None of the city council members I know are particularly wealthy and most are far from it.  The last school board election for where Dan and I live had two candidates that aren't rich.  One of them lives across the street from me and has rented the house for 4 yrs.  His signs were bought by Dr. Weitz.  A candidate wears several hats, one is a fund raiser hat.

"Political offices are for the wealthy and those with lots of free time.
The average person cannot participate." 

I'll be sure to let my wife know that by my participation in the
electoral process I'm above average, and we're evidently wealthy!

She'll be tickled.
