<u><b>Trail continues use of unauthorized quotes from citizens after
asked to stop<br>
<br>
</b></u>(Moscow)<x-tab>
</x-tab>Three Moscow residents quoted by Tom Trail in campaign ads and
mailings say they were never contacted by the Trail campaign and did
not and do not authorize the use of their names or words. Janet Fiske,
Donovan Arnold and Dottie LeFors all say Trail is using their names
and words to deliberately misrepresent their opinion of Trail's
opponent Mark Solomon.<br>
<br>
"I was not asked and did not give Trail permission to use my name or
out-of-context words. He has deliberately misrepresented my current
opinion of Mark Solomon," said Fiske, Arnold and LeFors.<br>
<br>
Notified of the unauthorized use of Arnold's name and words, radio
station KCLX-FM pulled Trail's ads off the airwaves. Despite
notification to the Moscow-Pullman Daily News and the UI Argonaut by
Arnold and LeFors of the unauthorized use, Trail ads continue to run
with the misleading statements included. Trail continued the
unauthorized use in a campaign mailing sent to Moscow residents
October 29th.<br>
<br>
"It is sad to see a man previously held in such high regard sink to
this low level of political discourse," said Mark Solomon. "We
must use every opportunity available to unite our community, not tear
it apart, if we are to prevail over interests in Boise that would
further weaken the UI, public education and our education-based
economy."</font></div>
