<DIV>Doug is begging so hard to play ball, I'll let him in for one
inning. Prior to Doug's turn at bat he accused members of the city
council of conducting ex parte communications. He,
himself lettered in that sport.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On April 27, 2005 Doug appeared before the County Commissioners (minus Paul
Kimmel, who just happened to be out of town) in an attempt to bully Tom
Stroschein and Jack Nelson. He did not notify Saundra Lund or I that he
would be discussing us, nor did he notify the Commissioners what he wished
to discuss. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> He just opened his mouth and vomited threats. His
contention, as usual, is that his church is being singled out for unfair
treatment. You know, the kind of treatment where people don't get a
property tax exemptions if they run a million dollar publishing business out of
a church owned building. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In part his testimony reads.....</DIV>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> " </SPAN>If that is the case and if there are
people in town who have had a very public vendetta against us for personal or
ideological reasons of their own, my concern, which I wanted to express to you
all, face to face, is that the mechanism of the law not be used, or not be
allowed to be used as a cats paw for fulfilling personal, settling personal
scores.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That sort of thing, it
appears to me would be a flagrant example of applying the law selectively.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So in other words the exclusive use, the
particular interpretation of exclusive use that you all decided on in the last
go round is now in appeal.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That
understanding of exclusive use must apply to all tax exempt entities in
<st1:City><st1:place>Moscow</st1:place></st1:City> or
<st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Latah</st1:PlaceName>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">But I think we should all agree
that the law should not just be applied to those who are the brunt of the
animosity of a handful of people in town who want to run ‘em out of town and who
want to use the zoning requirements, the Latah County commissioners or the Board
of Adjustors, the Idaho State Attorney General, there was a complaint filed
against me there on another thing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I don't think that that should be – I think that should be recognized and
I wanted to appear before you face to face and<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>tell you face to face that that is my
fundamental concern.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I<STRONG>
think it opens <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Latah</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType>County</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> up to a great deal of exposure
</STRONG>if the law is applied selectively in that way and I simply wanted to
tell you that....</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I guess the thing I wanted to say
is that monsters don't shrink when you feed them. And I believe it is your
responsibility to not just look at the letter of the law, what’s going on in the
law but also to look at the town and see what’s happening in town.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The animosity, the ideological agenda
that’s directed against us is open, public the archives of vision 2020 are there
for anybody to read and the last two years have been our adversaries have been
overt about what they want to do; they want to run us out of town and they are
using every device that they can get their hands on to do that ....</P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">So, I'm certainly not going to
illustrate the unjustice of it by filing a similar complaint against the
Presbyterian Church across the street or you know, I'm not going to do that. But
the fact remains that there is a de facto situation on the ground where a year
later the tax exemptions that has been removed has been from our two entities
the next two that are<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>threatened
are are two entities that I sit on the board of and <STRONG><U>I just wouldn't
want Latah County to make a very expensive mistake.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></U></STRONG>And that’s why I wanted to
appear.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I didn't want to
necessarily, I know that this is not the venue for going into all the details of
it."</P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">By the way, this little
communication is an excellent example of Doug Speak, for those who aren't
familiar with it. He appears in front of the county on a day that his
congregation member , Paul Kimmel, is not there. That is no
accident. He says he won't file property tax exemptions against
the Presbyterians, (Note to readers: Doug rarely does his own
dirty work anyhow. He leads from the rear.) Doug said he wouldn't file
<U>property tax complaints</U>, he didn't mention the zoning complaints waiting
in the wings to be filed by his son, Nathan, and Nate's sidekick, Aaron Rench
(both NSA graduates and employed by Christ Church). </P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Oh, back to the T ball
game, Sorry, fans. Doug was caught cheating and thrown off the
field. And guess what, he was kicking and screaming the whole way about
how he was being discriminated against. </P>
