Subject: [Vision2020] Walter Steed's pig farm











The transcript of the news broadcast from KLEW-TV of the 
Chamber of Commerce candidate forum (below) contains a great quote from Walter 
Steed.
 
"I've been criticized lately for saying I would welcome all 
businesses that wish to come to Moscow," said Walter Steed. "And, that's true. I 
don't mean that I want to put a pig farm next to someone's house. But, on the 
other hand, I would like to talk to them about it and see if there's a place it 
could be located."

My questions to Steed: where in Moscow do you want to 
locate a pig farm?  are there any businesses which are so stinky and 
disgusting that you do not want to bring them to Moscow?

MOSCOW - Seven candidates for the Moscow City Council took 
part in their first public forum Wednesday. 

The Moscow Chamber of 
Commerce hosted the event at the University Inn in Moscow.

Running for a 
two-year term are Evan Holmes and Walter Steed. Four-year position candidates 
include incumbents Aaron Ament, Tom Lamar and Linda Pall, along with Dan 
Carscallen and Wayne Krauss.

Candidates talked about transportation 
challenges, They also talked about growth and attracting new business to the 
area.

"The City of Moscow has to work very hard at creating an image of 
being very welcoming to new development," said Wayne Krauss.

"I've been 
criticized lately for saying I would welcome all businesses that wish to come to 
Moscow," said Walter Steed. "And, that's true. I don't mean that I want to put a 
pig farm next to someone's house. But, on the other hand, I would like to talk 
to them about it and see if there's a place it could be 
located."

"Economic development doesn't really happen at the city council 
level or at the voter level or a number of things we'd like to get energized 
about," said Evan Holmes. "It really happens when investors are comfortable 
taking a risk on your community."

The area's water supply was also 
brought up during the noon time forum.

"I don't think we have a water 
supply problem," said Dan Carscallen. "I think we have more of a management 
problem."

"What I don't like the idea of, is for us to try and save water 
here in Moscow so it can be used further downstream," said Krauss. "Washington 
State University is building a golf course that's going to use an additional 50 
million gallons of water a year. How much are we saving by raising our water 
rates and letting our yards turn brown and burn up?"

The candidates are 
scheduled to appear in what Mayor Nancy Chaney said will be a less formal type 
of situation Sunday from 2:00 to 4:00 at the Hamilton Indoor Recreation Center.
