If the County Commissioners wanted<BR>these services to continue it should have run a bond issue in order to<BR>upgrade the facility and pay off LHS debts.<BR><BR>Now that county officials have failed its patrons, the only good option is<BR>for Gritman to take over the entire facility.<BR><BR>The critic this morning on our list ignores three facts:<BR><BR>1. Gritman is expanding its Adult Day Health program, which will pick up<BR>more people who otherwise would need assisted living.<BR><BR>2. Gritman currently has three
operators in mind who might offer assisted<BR>living at the new facility.<BR><BR>3. Gritman is thinking of offering indigent health care at its new wellness<BR>center.<BR><BR>Finally, some of you may have seen the signs on Beebe's property urging<BR>people to vote No. On Friday the city attorney actually gave us permission<BR>to take them down because they were in the city's right-of-way. We decided<BR>against such a provocative action.<BR><BR>Those driving south out of Moscow will soon see a large sign on Gritman<BR>property informing them that the No signs have been put up by developers who<BR>want to raise LHS to the ground and put a new car dealership there.<BR><BR>We are confident that Latah County residents will vote for the Gritman<BR>Wellness Center for long term gains, rather than a quick profit for a<BR>facility that will ruin the l NW corner of 95 and Palouse River Drive.<BR><BR>Vote Yes on Monday at the Court House or vote Yes on Tuesday at the Kibbie<BR>Dome
