<DIV><FONT size=4>Melynda,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Thank you for your terse, pellucid (thank you for that also)
comments.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>In my opinion and I think many others, Linda Pike would be a
county commissioner now instead of Jack Nelson were it not for Donovan's
persistence in alienating voters for her. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000>Donovan describing himself to many
as Pike's campaign manager and/or her political consultant, then <FONT
color=#0000ff size=6>persistently</FONT> arguing in his high school debate club
manner (where truth is not the object, but to win the debate) with voters really
turned off many people that did not know Linda well.</FONT> </STRONG>He
also claimed that Linda was working on a plan to realign the commissioner
districts -- a subject sure to turn off many voters who see such a machination
as a benefitless-to-the-public power consolidation move.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Many of us wondered about Linda's judgment at using
Donovan at all. But he did do useful grunt work, a task that he
is admirably suited for. However, in my opinion, his overall effect on her
candidacy was extremely negative. I would like to support Linda
financially again, however if Donovan is going to have any kind of visible role
in her next campaign, I feel that giving money would be most likely wasting
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I hope that Linda plans her next campaign well so as to
prevent a recurrence. Then many of us would gladly again give her
financial support.</FONT></DIV>

Arnold)</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><BR></FONT></DIV><FONT size=4>> Since my name keeps coming
up in this thread, perhaps I should weigh in. <BR>> <BR>> The
persistence of the argument lies, I think, in Donovan Arnold's failure to
distinguish between "voting" and "having a voice."<BR>> <BR>> I am not a
city resident, and consequently may not vote in city elections. <BR>>
<BR>> Nevertheless, I'm free to hold opinions about Moscow city government,
and to express those opinions wherever I wish, including at City Council
meetings, which are (so far as I know) free to the public, not merely to the
voting public resident in Moscow.<BR>> <BR>> The City Council is likewise
free to ignore my opinions and ideas if they wish, whether because I live in the
county or because they find them objectionable in some way.<BR>> <BR>> To
recap: a) Melynda can't vote in Moscow elections; b) Melynda may still
express her thoughts about Moscow city government; c) The City Council doesn't
have to pay any attention to Melynda.<BR>> <BR>> It seems so clear. .
