<DIV>Janesta,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Keeping the city together is called the city council and the mayor. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Some of the things I would like to see happen is The University of Idaho needs to stay a teaching institution and stop taking away tax paying enterprises. The University told the public that their new food court would not hurt tax paying businesses. Well, it has. What happened to The Subway store in the mall? What happened to the businesses that were previously in the building the Ale House now is in? Lots of food businesses in Moscow are hurting. And now they want to open a Pub on campus? After fighting their stigma of a party House, now they want to open a Pub? When they can't even control the alcohol on campus now. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The University buys up housing and we, the tax payers, pay for the students children that the University houses. What we are facing is a similar situation that Social Security is facing. Too few of us paying taxes on the outside to support the University and all of it's enterprises. Maybe we should get a subsidy from the state for housing the university? Maybe the food court should be taxed? It makes a profit. We get taxed on improvements. So should they. If it is for profit and not educational purposes. The University causes a lot of our tax woes. What is going to happen to the tax paying coffee house that just opened oh and Bucers and Starbucks at the mall, when they build their "new cafe" on campus? If the University is going to put everything on campus they might as well buy downtown cause there are not going to be enough people to support downtown. There is your new high school. There is your new police station. There is your new court house. Pick a building. They are all going to be vacant. Everyone will be bankrupt. Our politicians are not negotiating properly with the University and the state. Don't bankrupt us one at a time. Pack your bags and move out. You are killing the tax paying citizens of Moscow. Quit the threats of moving The Law School and or The engineering department. Just do it. Get it over with. Then there is no need for a High School. There won't be anybody here. To pay for it.</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It, being money.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please correct me if I am wrong. *soft laugh* Which I</DIV>
<DIV>have been a once, maybe twice in the past!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am not debating the merits or not of the</DIV>
<DIV>following...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A new high school</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The old one stays open for the alternative high</DIV>
<DIV>school, or whatever the name is (all due respect, I</DIV>
<DIV>just don't know)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Latah Health Services wants/need to remodel.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The courthouse was out of room, how many years ago?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And if I recall correctly, the Chief of Police</DIV>
<DIV>wants/needs a new station.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Am I missing anything?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Last year my property taxes went up almost enough to</DIV>
<DIV>make my heart stop mid-beat.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Where, oh, where are the funds going to come from? The</DIV>
<DIV>office manager at a local business who makes LESS than</DIV>
<DIV>$10.00 an hour? The young couple struggling to make</DIV>
<DIV>ends meet and keep their first home? Or perhaps the</DIV>
<DIV>elderly couple next door, struggling to pay for their</DIV>
<DIV>medication, as well as keep the family home.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I read gas will go to around $4.00 a gallon. I imagine</DIV>
<DIV>the cost of food, dry goods, what have you will go up</DIV>
<DIV>as well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't get the chance to read vision2020 as much as I</DIV>
<DIV>would like, perhaps these questions have been</DIV>
<DIV>answered.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there a committee looking at the common needs of</DIV>
<DIV>our area... TOGETHER??? Not just each group for</DIV>
<DIV>themselves?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Respectfully,</DIV>
<DIV>Janesta</DIV>
