What interests me is the mention of other offers to the commissioners. Were these meetings with multiple commissioners? Were these meetings in violation of Idaho's open meeting laws? If not, then it should be easy to find out who made the offers/proposals by way of a simple public records request.<br><br><b><i>Tom Hansen <thansen@moscow.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> I strongly support the sale of this county property to Gritman.
