[Vision2020] Tom Lamar's Editorial Re: Hawkins Water & Sewer

[pkraut at moscow.com]

I have attended city meetings for years and the talk about water and how 
much we do not have has gone on and on and on and on and on.....
Many of us do not need to hear any more of it and we are well aware that 
the group who belives that will be unhappy with anything that 
might...just might have an effect on the water useage. My problem is that 
no difinitive study, and we have spent a lot of money on studies, will 
say we will be out soon or maybe sooner than soon. I the mean time 
Pendleton, Yakima, TriCities and many others are growing and using water 
at will. So, here we sit...not growing, still driving for an hour or two 
to find shopping and I say enough already. Lets spend our money on 
something that will help our population such as better options on housing 
and not driving long distances to shop. If it will help our no water 
crowd build a resevoir (SP) somewhere but lets get on  with life!
