<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mr. Crabtree,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Perhaps you could quote the passage from my
posting which indicates I am not giving him my consideration. And while
you are doing that you might quote the passage in which I ask Dan to condemn
Mr. Glasebrook. I did not ask that. I said I was disappointed he
did not condemn the sign. The pronoun "it" refers to inantimate
objects. I never refer to people as "it", not even Dr. Weitz.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I happen to like Dan a lot. And I am
grateful to him for his contributions to the community. I have a feeling
he never considers a person's goodness, or political affiliation before he
decides to try to save them. The fact that he tried diligently to keep
you among the living proves my point, doesn't it? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regarding Dan Carscallen's comment regarding
Mr. Glasebrooks sign. Wouldn't an outright condemnation be little
different than taking the man to task for exercising his right to
express his opinion in public? Whether you agree or not there is no question
but what Mr. Glasebrook truly believes that the candidates in question are
bigoted toward his church. I would think that reasonable people could
disagree without having to demand they condemn him. I don't
remember any call for condemnation for letter writer's who went to the
fanatical extreme of expressing the opinion that Dr. Weitz
hates kids. But I suppose that was a different, more intimate ox
being gored in that instance.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One thing I do know is that in a medical
emergency I would be incredibly pleased to see Dan's face as he dropped
everything to do his absolute level best to keep me among the living
as, I suspect, would you. If we're willing to trust him that far how much
more of a stretch is it to trust him with a council seat? I believe
that he'll look for the compromise that would make both of us
equally mad as well as evenly pleased and devote the same competence to
deciding matters of city business that he does to his other vital
activities. Please give him your consideration.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Exactly. But the source of that
money is also a strong indicator of the values held by their
supporters. And that's why taking money from John Ficca is a
clear indication of the regard one has for the rights of employees.
They might not have known about his past when they accepted it, but
they know now and whether they keep it or return it is key to their
own values. If they decide to return it, then they need to make a
public statement to that effect. Otherwise, how would we know in
time to vote for them?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>An important issue, to me, is the request by
the police to form a union. They were denied that opportunity last
year. I want to elect candidates who will not deny that request
again. Those who would overlook John Ficca's behavior might well be
disinclined to allow the police effort, as well. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I have been involved in the debates among
the candidates, I really have come to feel that electing all the council
members from either MCA or GMA might not serve us as well as electing
candidates from both groups. At this time, I am convinced to
vote for Aaron Ament. I am still trying to determine where my other
votes will go. I had intended to make support for the school levy
re-run a determining variable, but I am convinced all the candidates
support that effort. Evan Holmes, Dan Carscallen, and Aaron Ament
have not only voiced their support, they have written articulately of that
support. Wayne Krauss also has a long history of
supporting Moscow Public Schools. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The word of the candidates in
response to the Christ Church representative, Dave Glasebrook, and the
malicious sign he carried, are also significant. I was particularly
bothered by the statement from Dan Carscallen, "I don't condone it, but I
guess I don't condemn it, either." And pray, why not? It would
seem to me that any posturing from a person filled with all
that invective would compel one to condemn it. And coming
on the heels of Shelly Bennett's letter which carried the same message, I
think one can expect antics such as these to continue. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One thing, though, through all of this the
candidates have comported themselves with the level of civility one has a
right to expect of people running for public office. They have all
done well by us. I am sure that by election day, I will cast my vote
with confidence in those who receive it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would have sent this letter to the Daily
News and Lewiston Tribune, but my allocation of letters to the editor was
already expended through my effort to support the levy re-run.
