<DIV class=storybody>The transcript of the news broadcast from KLEW-TV of the
Chamber of Commerce candidate forum (below) contains a great quote from Walter
Steed.</DIV>
<DIV class=storybody> </DIV>
<DIV class=storybody>"I've been criticized lately for saying I would welcome all
businesses that wish to come to Moscow," said Walter Steed. "And, that's true. I
don't mean that I want to put a pig farm next to someone's house. But, on the
other hand, I would like to talk to them about it and see if there's a place it
could be located."<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=storybody>My questions to Steed: where in Moscow do you want to
locate a pig farm? are there any businesses which are so stinky and
disgusting that you do not want to bring them to Moscow?</DIV>

<DIV class=storybody>MOSCOW - Seven candidates for the Moscow City Council took
part in their first public forum Wednesday. <BR><BR>The Moscow Chamber of
Commerce hosted the event at the University Inn in Moscow.<BR><BR>Running for a
two-year term are Evan Holmes and Walter Steed. Four-year position candidates
include incumbents Aaron Ament, Tom Lamar and Linda Pall, along with Dan
Carscallen and Wayne Krauss.<BR><BR>Candidates talked about transportation
challenges, They also talked about growth and attracting new business to the
area.<BR><BR>"The City of Moscow has to work very hard at creating an image of
being very welcoming to new development," said Wayne Krauss.<BR><BR>"I've been
criticized lately for saying I would welcome all businesses that wish to come to
Moscow," said Walter Steed. "And, that's true. I don't mean that I want to put a
pig farm next to someone's house. But, on the other hand, I would like to talk
to them about it and see if there's a place it could be
located."<BR><BR>"Economic development doesn't really happen at the city council
level or at the voter level or a number of things we'd like to get energized
about," said Evan Holmes. "It really happens when investors are comfortable
taking a risk on your community."<BR><BR>The area's water supply was also
brought up during the noon time forum.<BR><BR>"I don't think we have a water
supply problem," said Dan Carscallen. "I think we have more of a management
problem."<BR><BR>"What I don't like the idea of, is for us to try and save water
here in Moscow so it can be used further downstream," said Krauss. "Washington
State University is building a golf course that's going to use an additional 50
million gallons of water a year. How much are we saving by raising our water
rates and letting our yards turn brown and burn up?"<BR><BR>The candidates are
scheduled to appear in what Mayor Nancy Chaney said will be a less formal type
of situation Sunday from 2:00 to 4:00 at the Hamilton Indoor Recreation Center.
