<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I went to the hearing yesterday, and came out
satisfied. All along the lawyers I had talked with said Weitz had standing
and they did not think the judge would rule any other way. There was speculation
that any other ruling would simply have meant Weitz would appeal and very likely
been sustained on appeal. That would have taken lots of time. It
really isn't Weitz 1 and MSD 0. The tenor of the hearing and Judge
Bradbury's explanation seemed reasonable to me, even though I was hoping for the
other outcome, too. Additionally, the summary judgement coming up in August
could be the end of it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Donovan, I am a bit surprised you are so elated. If
you had been at the hearing I believe you might not have felt it was a win for
Weitz, just a declaration he has the standing to continue. The judge made
it very clear several times he was not speaking to the merit of the suit, only
to the issue of standing. It will be he who deals with the summary
judgement in August. I think the resolution will come on that day.
That seemed to be the judge's intent. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>One item of interst to me: the Pocatello lawyer
hired by Weitz seems to make suits against school districts and cities one of
his major efforts. He was quite articulate and referred several times to
suits such as these which he had been involved in. Made several of us
wonder if his fees might be underwritten by some out-of-state anti tax
group. Weitz' local lawyer, Brian Thie, never said a word, although
Bradbury gave him the opportunity. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Anyway, on to the August hearing. Cuts have been
made in academic programs and I think they plan to increase the fees for
participation in sports and other activities, so from his perspective I'm sure
Weitz feels happy about this impact for which he can take all the credit.

<DIV><BR></DIV>Doug writes, "Well, what do you know?" at the news that Judge
Bradbury has determined that Jerry Weitz has legal standing to continue his
suit against MSD. Snarkiness is presumed.<BR><BR>Well, Doug, here's what
I know: This is not the ruling I would have liked, but it means just
what it means. That is . . . Weitz has legal standing to continue his
suit. That's all. It doesn't mean that the suit itself has merit,
and it doesn't mean that Weitz was acting in the best interest of his
community. And I know this, Doug: The judge can rule on the
former, but not on the latter. And you are unqualified to judge on
either.<BR><BR>Now, I'm also not qualified. But from what I know -- likely a
bit more than you do -- I think the suit operates on a faulty premise and is
insincere in its execution and intent, but I'm willing to let the court judge
'til the end. THE END, Doug, THE END. This isn't
it.<BR><BR>keely<BR><BR><BR><BR><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">"And these
