<h2 style='margin-left:.5in'><b><font size=5 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:18.0pt'>'Sinister agenda' a real concern <o:p></o:p></span></font></b></h2>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:13.5pt'>Gerald Weitz cares about <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>, has some very good ideas, and has put
his energy and money behind them. He worries about making <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City> an attractive environment for good
business. He has a valid concern for our need for vocational-technical training
in the high school. He has provided a space for the alternative high school so
that it could have its own building. He has served on the Moscow School Board
(although with a tendency to take his marbles and go home when his ideas were
ignored). He supported the Mayor's Advisory Committee for the 1912 Building
when that group worked so hard to get the 1912 Center restoration under way. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:13.5pt'>However, </span></font><strong><b><font size=5
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>he sometimes behaves like
a small boy, lost with his rifle in the dark, firing away at the slightest
noise or shadow.</span></font></b></strong><font size=4><span style='font-size:
13.5pt'> In his recent letter to the editor attempting to justify his call for
a recall of half of the City Council, he gave a detailed list of his concerns
about education, which is the responsibility of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">School District</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>
rather than Linda Pall, Nancy Chaney, and John Dickinson. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:13.5pt'>Weitz also referred to "discrimination against
parochial elementary kids here in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>."
Presumably, this refers to his original justification for wanting a recall:
these council members asked St. Mary's School to go back to the drawing board
on their gym plan, which had required a conditional use permit and a list of
variances. This was not "discrimination against parochial students;"
this was simply a request that the project be scaled to follow the zoning
requirements. My real concern is that some group (not St. Mary's) with a
sinister agenda has put Weitz up to this nonsense. I hope the community has the
sense to ignore it. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
