[Vision2020] Moscow Chamber: Candidates Forum

[Tom Hansen]

My apologies, Mr. Keim, if my comments were misconstrued.

I certainly did not mean to criticise the community service provided by 
the Chamber of Commerce's Candidates' Forum.  This forum provides a most-
welcome opportunity for Moscow's citizens to learn from the candidates 
themselves their respective intentions concerning the future of the city 
of Moscow, Latah County, and the state of Idaho.

The people of Moscow owe the Chamber a collective "thank you" for 
providing this opportunity.

Again, my apologies for any misunderstanding,

Tom Hansen
Moscow, Idaho
