<DIV>What boggles my mind is this notion that there is limited wealth and it is being fought over between Pullman and Moscow, or between the big chain stores and the small mom and pop shops. Nobody checks this with the reality that wealth is not finite but in fact unlimited by the generation of jobs through production, selling, work, and competition to create a more efficient marketplace. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If the leaders of Moscow would spend more time building up Moscow, rather then trying to tear down what others are trying to build, we might have a better economy.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The way to better Moscow isn't to stop construction in the corridor, but to build and produce something better to make people drive through the corridor and come to Moscow. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Some leaders in Moscow have the mentality of the children in the sandbox that stomp on the sand castles that are better than
their own instead of building a better one. Destroying all the other projects so that yours is the best is the loser's approach to problem solving and being productive. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan <BR><BR><B><I>anitasonriente@aol.com</I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <DIV><SPAN class=correction id="">Keely</SPAN>,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If Moscow suffers economically from the impact, then it should fall on the shoulders of the city council.

the coffee shops? If I seem "bitter", it is because I would like to see Moscow grow as I live here and I believe in my city and I shop locally. But when you can go down main street and there are 8 places within a block that are either coffee shops or they are <SPAN class=correction id="">restaurants</SPAN> that sell coffees, ie <SPAN class=correction id="">mocha's</SPAN>, <SPAN class=correction id="">lattee's</SPAN>, etc., ! it gets to be a bit much. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anita :)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: kjajmix1@msn.com<BR>To: anitasonriente@aol.com; vision2020@moscow.com<BR>Sent: Sun, 14 Jan 2007 8:18 PM<BR>Subject: RE: [Vision2020] Why I didn't vote for Brady......<BR><BR> <STYLE> .AOLPlainTextBody { margin: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px; color: #000;

The state line separates jurisdictions; it doesn't eliminate threats or risks from out of state. <BR> <BR><SPAN class=correction id="">keely</SPAN> <BR> <BR>From: <A href="mailto:anitasonriente%40aol.com">anitasonriente@aol.com</A> <BR>To: <A href="mailto:vision2020%40moscow.com">vision2020@moscow.com</A> <BR>Subject: [Vision2020] Why I didn't vote for Brady...... <BR>Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2007 22:33:13 -0500 <BR> <BR>I feel that <SPAN class=correction id="">Kai</SPAN> has made a very valid
point. To some the hand shake may seam trivial, but I was always taught that making a good first impression is very important. The politicians know when they step into the political arena that they will be embarking on a long grueling journey with long hours, bad food, and even bad breathe for that matter. To make excuses as to why Brady had a limp hand shake is simply that....an excuse. I have a hard time with politicians in general because I simply do not believe a word they say. For example, tell me how many of the fine City of Moscow city council members are acting on what they promised in their campaigns? They were going to make Moscow even better. What, with a another coffee shop downtown? Maybe instead of Mayor <SPAN class=correction id="">Chaney</SPAN> and the Moscow City Council sticking their noses in the happenings of events going on <SPAN class=correction id="">accross</SPAN> the border in ! Washington, perhaps they 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>________________________________________________________________________ <BR>Check out the new AOL.
