[Vision2020] What is Jeff talking about? (was something else)

[Matt Decker]

Joe,

About a week ago you confronted me about G. Crabtree. How much of an ass he is and how I don't "pipe down on him". I told you I don't condemn his or your actions(name calling that is). Then I saw you do it to me in private. Oh well, hey I have thicker skin. Now you, again are doing it to Jeff. I have closely watched this whole thing unfold and again it is you my friend, with the nasty tones. When will your little pompous antics end? 

If you want to attack me again, well go for it. Let me spare you though.
Last week, I had mentioned that I had a client who had a 10K yard and I mentioned that he was a customer of mine. A MCA member as well. This member I called a hypocrite because of his water usage on his yard, or future usage. Ringing a bell? ANyways, I was out of line. This man has done nothing to improve Moscow. We can all improve our lives and better this world, but for me to come down on this man was unjust. A moment I am not proud of. 

However, I still don't condone calling the GMA candidates water hoards. These men are also trying to better our community. If you don't want to vote for the GMA guys then don't. Just don't make shit up. Just like the fact that MCA is isn't anti growth. 

Matt
