[Vision2020] Just Curious

[Art Deco]

To those that may wonder too:

Below are copies of two emails from Greg Kimberling.

The first contains a letter allegedly written by John Weber in response to questions raised on V2020 (and elsewhere) about the truth of certain statements then on Weber's campaign website.

The second is a response by Greg Kimberling to the question:  "Does Weber use email?"

Since, Kimberling writes in his second email that he has never communicated with John Weber via email, but then says apparently contradictorily:  "John wrote back his response and I thought it might be appropriate to post it on the website."  A look at the first email below shows it is not a forwarded email, but originated with Kimberling.

>From whence, from whom, and how did the response allegedly by Weber get to Kimberling?  Who really wrote the response attributed to John Weber?  

Perhaps someone can help this curious, but befuddled old codger by answering these two questions.

Further, I am curious because over the last few months, I emailed Weber many times.  I have never received a response from him.  But on almost all emails sent, I received an error message which basically said my email was undeliverable because his box was full.  When I mentioned this to several city staff, part of the responses received was that Weber did not use email since he did not know how.  Hence my questions above about the origin and initial transmission of his retraction of previous claims.

I agree with the earlier statement of Tom Trail.  Email is a very important and crucial tool for any public official when listening to and when responding to public concerns.  Representative Trail is always quick to respond to my email queries and concerns, and his responses are germane.

I'd be grateful for any help anyone can give [on list] to relieve my befuddlement on this issue.

Here is a response from John Weber:

To Vision 2020 readers and participants; I regret the error on my
Weber-Mayor.com web page.
   
   I have never been Moscow's Police Chief nor have I ever been the attorney
for the City of Moscow. However I have been on the search committees that
helped fill these positions in the past.
   
   I would like to thank the Moscow citizens that caught this mistake and
gave me the opportunity to correct it, both on Vision 2020 and my web page.
   
    If anyone would like to discuss this with me further, please contact me
at 208.882.6794.

John Weber

Bill, Cathy and others:


I appreciate your notes.  My response on Vision 2020 was a practical issue.  The discussion was based upon a number of items posted on his campaign website about his experience and or qualifications.  Instead of debating the issue about facts I was unsure about I simply made contact with John through his sister and asked what the deal was.  John wrote back his response and I thought it might be appropriate to post it on the website.  It seemed like a very logical step to take regardless of whether you support one candidate or the other.  


I have never communicated with John through email so I cannot answer your question regarding an email address for him.  I have always called him up or met with him face to face.  I do not represent his campaign or the committee assisting him so I would suggest you contact him directly with the phone number he gave out - 882-6794


Best Wishes,


Greg Kimberling
