>> Aaron Ament represents the citizens
>>
>> Moscow is extremely fortunate to have one of the best city councils
>> in decades. I appreciate that decisions it makes are based on the
>> greater good and not influenced by membership or obligation to
>> special interests. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and dedication
>> required to make this council one that balances the needs for
>> business development, housing, and infrastructure with the livability
>> of our city. What this means is that we, the people who live here,
>> pay taxes here, and thrive here are as important as any other entity
>> pressuring for special consideration.
>> It is vital that we understand why the council is so balanced. Aaron
>> Ament sets this tone, and can be counted on to keep our interests at
>> the forefront. The differences between sitting candidates and
>> contenders were strikingly clear at Wednesday's Chamber of Commerce
>> forum. Three of contenders basically said, we don't have a water
>> problem. Let's use it up because it will be good for growth. This
>> goes against all the scientific study we have conducted in the past
>> decade.  Aaron Ament THINKS about the issue and supports >> conservation.
>> In an earlier forum, the issue of group housing arose. Many of us
>> have had to live with noise, constant traffic, all night parties,
>> parking problems, and deterioration of our neighborhood environments.
>> Who represents the citizens better? People who do not care if our
>> lives are degraded, or people who think about the citizens living
>> here and put their interests first.
>> Aaron Ament supports impact fees which puts some of the burden of the
>> cost of infrastructure on new development rather than having us, the
>> taxpayers, foot the bills when developments are made. This fosters
>> smart growth instead of lining the pockets of special interests. As a
>> taxpayer, a person who loves living in Moscow dearly, I am very happy
>> that someone is looking out for me. Join me in support Aaron Ament
>> and the current city council. Our cities future depends on your vote.

>> Thank you,
