<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Could you explain how one 60,000 sq. ft. retail
development is more destructive to the environment than 30-2000 sq. ft.
businesses would be? Why do you think that they would use more water?
Particularly if they are capturing rain water for their landscaping needs?

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As to your contention about traffic, I'm sure that
people who live within walking distance of a "big box" will. Just the same as
with the coffee shops (you don't imagine that all the folks sipping their
mochachinno grandes at the various downtown bistros walked there, do
you?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Coffee shops, restaurants, and other small
enterprises are great but they shouldn't exclude larger
development.</FONT></DIV>

what our <BR>> concerns are. Coffee shops (and yes, there are a lot)
don't impact the <BR>> environment, particularly the water supply, in the
same way that huge retail <BR>> complexes do. The coffee shops downtown
allow for a great deal of foot <BR>> traffic, whereas not many people will
walk to the big boxes. And while I <BR>> strongly supported the
construction of a new high school out on the Trail <BR>> property northeast
of town, it was because of the enormous benefit to the <BR>> community, a
benefit that I don't see from out-of-town retail behemoths.<BR>> <BR>> But

economically from the impact, then it should fall on the <BR>> shoulders of
the city council. They are the ones that do not want the new <BR>>
business'. And besides, Whitman County is being smart.....they want to
grow <BR>> with the times and they realize that by bringing these retail
shops in, they <BR>> are not only keeping business local, they would have
more jobs for their <BR>> community, etc. Oh yeah, but did I mention
that Moscow hasn't kept out the <BR>> coffee shops? If I seem "bitter",
it is because I would like to see Moscow <BR>> grow as I live here and I
believe in my city and I shop locally. But when <BR>> you can go down
main street and there are 8 places within a block that are <BR>> either
coffee shops or they are restaurants that sell coffees, ie mocha's, <BR>>
lattee's, etc., it gets to be a bit much.<BR>> <BR>> Anita :)<BR>>

22:33:13 -0500<BR>> <BR>> I feel that Kai has made a very valid point. To
some the hand shake may seam <BR>> trivial, but I was always taught that
making a good first impression is very <BR>> important. The politicians know
when they step into the political arena that <BR>> they will be embarking on
a long grueling journey with long hours, bad food, <BR>> and even bad breathe
for that matter. To make excuses as to why Brady had a <BR>> limp hand shake
is simply that....an excuse. I have a hard time with <BR>> politicians in
general because I simply do not believe a word they say. For <BR>> example,
tell me how many of the fine City of Moscow city council members <BR>> are
acting on what they promised in their campaigns? They were going to make
<BR>> Moscow even better. What, with a another coffee shop downtown? Maybe
instead <BR>> of Mayor Chaney and the Moscow City Council sticking their
noses in the <BR>> happenings of events going on accross the border in
Washington, perhaps they <BR>> should keep their vision on what is better for
Moscow and go back to what!<BR>> they promised us, the voters
during their campaigning :)<BR>>
