IF they got to where they owned every inch of downtown, it would totally kill any tax base we have down there AND they would prevent other, "more diverse" businesses from moving in, thereby making it all their own little world...i.e. Koreshville, Colorado City, Jeffsville, Jonestown. You get the idea.<br><br>Well, ok - YOU don't, but others do.<br><br>This town was not made for ONE group to own despite what you or they would like to see happen. Just how long do you think YOUR business would last once Dougie and his bunch moved in permanently and completely? You think just because you've supported them all this time, they'd keep you around? Think again. Just look at what happened when Mr. Kong went against Dougie's grain - he lost his business, his home, his ability to stay in Moscow. And he's not the only one. There have been over 200 hundred families that have left Moscow because SOMEhow they "offended" Dougie and were forced out. <br><br>Think you're immune to that? Nope. You're not. Which is what happens in a dictatorship such as what Dougie is trying to set up in Moscow. Count on it.<br><br>J :]<br><br><br><blockquote><hr>From: jampot@roadrunner.com<br>To: thansen@moscow.com; pkraut@moscow.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br>Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2007 07:26:11 -0700<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] principals of Developers of the Palouse LLC<br><br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Of all the property in the central business
district, what percent is owned by CC? One percent? Maybe two? </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Lets follow your query to its logical end. CC owns
fifty to sixty percent of the CBD. So what? Please don't fall back on the
property tax issue since we all know that church property, used for church
purposes will be tax exempt no matter where it is, downtown or
elsewhere. If it's owned by the church or its members and used for
commercial purposes it will be taxed the same as any other parcel. </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">With this being the case, why would it matter if
they were to own every square inch of downtown Moscow? What exactly would be the
down side? The maddening rectal itch you might receive from such a turn of
events really doesn't count.</font></div>
