[Vision2020] Recall the city council

> Yesterday's Daily News posted some serious speculation about WalMart

> A local WalMart employee speculated that it is a reality.
> By providing water and sewer service across the state line, Moscow

> Much more is going on than we citizens know. What other "deals" are

We need to do something and do it quickly. Any ideas?
