<DIV>What a splendid opportunity to correct any misconceptions Mr. Crabtree
might have about my remarks Tuesday evening at the BOA meeting. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Believe me, Mr. Crabtree, Ms. Lund and I
understand that NSA claims a tax exemption under IC
63-602E. NSA is situated on a very desirable piece of real
estate in the heart of the central business district. If the building were
on the tax rolls NSA would be sharing the cost of parking lots and street
maintenance with other Moscow businesses. Instead, Moscow business
owners have the burden of subsidizing a private religious
college. By the way, the administrators of NSA have NEVER, repeat
NEVER, provided any specific financial records or independent audits to
substantiate their claim of non-profit status to the Latah County
Board of Equalization or the Idaho Board of Tax Appeals - despite the
fact that they provide that information annually to their accrediting
agency. Perhaps I am more sensitive than you, Mr. Crabtree, but the
specter of pigs gobbling at the public trough all the while squealing and
grunting about the dirty hand that feeds them is remarkably offensive to
me. NSA refuses "on principle" any government funding for their
college while at the same time they greedily insist that property owners in
Moscow have an obligation to give them a free ride.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. The notion that NIC or LCSC might find branch campuses in Moscow
an attractive idea is not some pie-in-the-sky, self-serving fantasy of
mine. Nor is it unimaginable that the University of Idaho might like a
presence downtown. What possible rationale could the City
legitimately advance that would bar a public institution from the central
business district after granting a private college free access? Do
you really think that tax payers will be happy about the expensive
litigation which will follow if other educational institutions are denied
Main Street locations? And, do you really think the City will have a
viable argument in a courtroom if they try to limit other institutions?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3. In the material presented to the BOA, Dr. Atwood claimed that
NSA had invested more than a million dollars in a “vacant
building.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I understood </SPAN>Dr.
Atwood's remark to mean that the cost of the renovation and improvements were in
the hundreds of thousands dollars range.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This claim is not substantiated by the building permits issued by the
City of <st1:City><st1:place>Moscow</st1:place></st1:City> to NSA.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>

didn't say (but wished that I had) that those kind of remarks in

many people testified in support of NSA. When we subtract the number

frankly have a bias, and the usual number of Christ Church and Trinity
Reformed members who happily rally to the Kirk cause they aren't to many
other folks left. You don't imagine that the majority of those supporting
NSA were just plucked willy-nilly from the streets of Moscow, do you? Of
course, Shelly Bennett testified in favor of granting a CUP, but
then, she was the realtor who brokered the sale. I guess that would
also make her the realtor who would have some responsibility to help her
client clarify any zoning issues prior to the sale - but maybe not.
Is that something a realtor might have an obligation to look
into? There was also a banker who spoke. I'm probably just
suspicious by nature, but do you think maybe there is a financial interest
involved in that as well? </FONT></DIV>

they have a legal and moral obligation to follow the same zoning code
regulations that the rest of us do. I am baffled that they
whine when they are held to a common standard. I am gob
smacked that their tantrums work like a charm for them every
time. The sad thing is that good hearted people, as I presume you are, Mr.
Crabtree, continue to buy into it. You are not, I hope some latte sipping
liberal, are you? I mean, I have grown to expect that old liberal
knee-jerk response from the touchy-feely crowd, but somehow, I imagined that you
might have a more pragmatic approach.</DIV>
