[Vision2020] Water Sale Bill

[Tom Hansen]

Since you have (many times) whined about how you are addressed, I assumed 
the decency of referring to you as "Donovan Arnold", instead of 
just "Arnold".  And how do you repay this decency?

Well, that's is fine with me, Arnie.

Now, concerning your complaint  about my referring to the loved and deeply 
missed John Dickinson . . .

It was you, Arnie, that initially cited John Dickinson as a source without 
any evidence to substantiate your claim; your claim that John Dickinson 
had told you that Moscow's water source is available for the next 200 to 
300 years.

After having viewed some videos I maintain of city council sessions 
conducted during CY 2006, sessions in which John Dickinson participated as 
a council member, I have reached a conclusion totally contrary to yours.

You see, Arnie . . .

I was merely debating your claim by providing contrary evidence 
originating from your very source.

Perhaps you have other sources to substantiate your "200 to 300 years" 
claim.

If so, I (and many others) would be most interested in reading them.
