<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">"If there's an agenda or list of specific
complaints, Moscow Police Chief Dan Weaver said he hasn't heard about them. He
said no one even told him his officers had enlisted the services of a labor
union. "</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=4>The above quote is more evidence that city government in Moscow
is calamitously broken. As I said in another forum: The city
council cannot even be trusted to do the most simple tasks,
unsupervised.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=4>If you want to see a far more serious example, read the
'protocols' adopted to attempt to protect the city (but no one else) from the
Naylor Farms proposal. Most literate persons will spot at least three
large problems, not including the horrendous,
writer-should-be-prevented-from-writing-again-forever, archaic style of the
legal language. Also not included in these three problems is the fact that
in the IDWR Preliminary Order, the IDWR did not even make the 'protocols,'
as weak as they are, mandatory. The time to appeal this decision
apparently elapsed without the city making a timely objection to the
IDWR.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=4>Moscow employs three lawyers (including the city
supervisor). Perhaps if they replaced the three with one honest,
competent, conscientious one, they might at least stay even with the game.
And what happened to the "new" city councilpersons who were going to clean
things up? Things look just as dirty or dirtier to me.</FONT></P>
