Thanks, Bill, for the clarity of your comments. And a side note to Gary Crabtree:<br><br>Trust me on this one. There's no one on Vision who, in criticizing Christ Church and its relations with the community, needs you to "slow it way down" so that they can grasp your arguments. Believe me, your points are not so complex as to require terrific effort in grasping them, and they're not cogent or correct enough for any of us to have to work real hard in refuting them. You might find civil discourse a bit taxing, but I regret that snottiness seems to come so easily for you. <br><br>One thing I've learned in my life is that people who disagree with me are not automatically stupid, and people who agree with me are not automatically brilliant. Those who fail to see that, however, aren't automatically anything, but damned if they don't somehow end up sounding like the former. <br><br>Coincidence? I think not.<br><br>keely<br><br><br><blockquote><hr>From: london@moscow.com<br>To: jampot@roadrunner.com; thansen@moscow.com; pkraut@moscow.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br>Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2007 14:14:48 -0700<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] principals of Developers of the Palouse LLC<br><br>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">The Christ Church leadership is committed to buying
downtown property for "strategic" (Doug Wilson's word) or "political" (my word)
reasons, not religious ones. The church wants to take over
downtown.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Downtown property (Central Business District) may
be taxed at a common rate with other properties, but each individual downtown
property is more valuable (and thus pays more property tax) than similar parcels
located elsewhere. So, when those downtown parcels are bought by Christ
Church, Moscow takes a big hit in revenue.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Diluting the Central Business District with
churches and schools (as is the Christ Church plan) creates a less vibrant
downtown with fewer businesses and many more parking problems.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">OK t, I'll try this one last time and slow
it way down for you. We can't be taking "the next step" when it's clear that
lesson one has not been properly integrated.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">1. Property used for church related activities
will be tax exempt whether it's downtown, mid-town, or on the outskirts
of our little burg.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">2. Property in the CBD is not taxed at a
different rate than property anywhere else. The tax loss is the same whether
it's downtown, mid-town, or on the outskirts of our little burg.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">3. Property owned by a church that is NOT
used for church related activities IS taxed, just the same as all other
similar properties such as the others that are downtown, mid-town, or on the
outskirts of our little burg. A prime example of this would be the space
occupied by the restaurant in the NSA building.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">4. Property owned by church members that is not
used for church related activities is taxed, just the same as all other
similar properties such as the others that are downtown, mid-town, or on the
outskirts of our little burg. Examples of this would include Bucer's,
Hall Closet, and the former Goodwill location. All owned by local hard
working, tax paying, law abiding citizens.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">5. Having dozens of under utilized buildings is
an expense that no small church can afford. Simply from a maintenance stand
point it would make no sense to have them lay fallow. This should calm
your fears that a local ministry will buy up all of the CBD and eliminate
Moscow's tax base.</font></div>

two? </span></font></p></div>

<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">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.

<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Of all the property in the
central business district, what percent is owned by CC? One percent? Maybe
two? </span></font></p></div>

<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">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.

<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">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.</span></font></p></div>
