[Vision2020] Courtney's Numbers

[J Ford]

The problem is people use his site as a news source because he says he's 
one.  All he is is a source for mis-information, hatred, little boy antics 
and plain and simple examples of "wrong-mindedness" that Pat and others 
continue to label others with.

If ever there were a site NOT to be trusted to give out good, reliable or 
stable information, that is Dale's site.

What really irks me is - he knows he's putting mis-information out there but 
continues to do it anyway.  Yellow journalism never smelled so pee-ish as 
Dale's!

>I know that this is the site he used to argue against the 2005 levy, since
>it clearly states at the top of the page:
>
>"Here is a resource to which you can turn for information about the Moscow
>School District levy on 26 April 2005."

>I was interested in finding results of recent research that he may have
>conducted.
>
>Primarily I reviewed the files dealing with "Administrative Bloat".  He not
>only is using the same numbers from 2005.  He is using the same files.  The
>most recent data in the files that I reviewed was for 2004/2005.
>
>He didn't event bother copying, renaming, and pasting the files into a 2007
>directory.  The links within his 2007 levy web pages are the very same,
>identical links found in his 2005 levy web pages.
>
>His property tax information, located at:
>
>http://moscowlevy.com/waste.htm
>
>is almost five years old.
>
>Thoughts?
>
>Stay tuned.  More to come.
