Please keep in mind that greater minds than yours, Donovan, believe that the suit itself lacks merit. In fact, even I think the point of the suit is based on a faulty interpretation of an unofficial, 17-year-old opinion not involving MSD -- and I'm well aware of my limits as a legal scholar. <br><br>It seems to me that your beef is with the legislature that granted the permanent levy and that stipulated ballot language that describes the true intent of the ballot proposal; that is, naming the solicited INCREASE to the permanent levy and not the levy total, permanent and hoped for, all together. I can assure you, though, that MSD vets these sorts of things -- heck, even bond levies -- with extraordinary thoroughness in consultation with the State Department of Education and its own legal counsel. <br><br>I think that time will show that Weitz has legal standing to bring about a lawsuit that ultimately will not prevail, based on a judicial finding of lack of merit. I also think it's unfair to assume that MSD has the kind of impure, unethical, and illegal motives that you ascribe to it, and I'll assert without hesitation that Moscow has every reason to be proud of its public school system.<br><br>keely<br><br><span style="font-style: italic;">"And these women that you spit on as they try to change their worlds/</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Are immune to your consultations . . . they're quite aware of what they're going through"</span><br>(With apologies to David Bowie)<br><br><br><blockquote><hr>Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2007 15:58:16 -0700<br>From: donovanjarnold2005@yahoo.com<br>To: ophite@gmail.com; heirdoug@netscape.net<br>CC: vision2020@moscow.com<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Breaking News: Judge Does Not Dismiss the MSD Lawsuit<br><br><div>I think this a great victory for all of Moscow.
