course, it’s kind of difficult to imagine that kind of persecution
has been present for 20 years since most folks weren’t even aware of Doug
Wilson and Christ Church 20 years ago. But, because Glasebrook says it,
it must be true, right? BTW, can anyone remind us of exactly has served
on the City Council in the last 20 years? They might want to know they

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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

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?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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.

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. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

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. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

thing, though, through all of this the candidates have comported themselves

<p class=MsoNormal>I cannot wait to see who wins the third seat for the four
year term. I really think it looks like Tom Lamar, Wayne Krauss, and Dan Carscallen
are going to be fighting for the last two seats. I think Aaron Ament with a big
load a cash, incumbency, and being liberal in a liberal town is definitely
going to place in the top three. I am also certain that Walter Steed will win.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>One person contributed $4,000 to a city election? What are
we, Boise or Seattle? or is that what they want us to be? What does
one person have to gain by providing so much money in a little race? like
ours? Nothing against the candidates though, good for them to have a
big spending benefactor. <br>

"Hey, Big Spender <br>
<br>
I have a copy of all of the City Council Candidates' Campaign Financial<br>
Disclosure Reports. <br>
<br>
I'll post them shortly. <br>
<br>
Of interest is how much money the candidates have received. <br>
<br>
Aaron Ament: $9,475 <br>
Tom Lamar: $8,817 <br>
Walter Steed: $6,936 <br>
Wayne Krauss: $6,135 <br>
Dan Carscallen: $4,545 <br>
Linda Pall: $3,910 <br>
Evan Holmes: $1,992<br>
Bill London accuses the GMA candidates of being the "big spending"
group. <br>
<br>
Seems like most of the money is being funneled to the liberal candidates. <br>
<br>
If money is any indication, the libs have their bets set on Ament. <br>
<br>
Heaven help us."<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Although it is important to learn how much money has been contributed to<br>
each candidate, it is vitally more important to learn from where that money<br>
was contributed.<br>
<br>
Your attention is invited to the Financial Disclosure reports located at:<br>
<br>
http://www.MoscowElection2007.com<br>
<br>
A review of the Financial Disclosure Reports submitted by Dan Carscallen,<br>
Walter Steed, Wayne Krauss, and the Greater Moscow Alliance Political Action<br>
Committee reflects contributions in the amount of $1,000 to each of the<br>
aforementioned by Palouse Rental and Construction.<br>
<br>
Who is Palouse Rental and Construction you ask?<br>
<br>
As mentioned earlier by Mark Solomon in an earlier posting at:<br>
<br>
http://mailman.fsr.com/pipermail/vision2020/2007-October/049113.html<br>
<br>
"As I'm always interested in who is contributing big $$ in elections, I<br>
looked it up and saw Palouse Rentals and Construction had donated $1000 to<br>
GMA. Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but I did not know that name. A quick<br>
search on the Sec'y of State website gives up John Ficca as the president of<br>
the corporation, which, by the way, has been administratively dissolved by<br>
the Sec'y of State for failure to file annual reports since 2004."<br>
<br>
It appears that this defunct company is/was headed by John Ficca, who back<br>
in 2000 . . .<br>
<br>
http://www.lni.wa.gov/news/2000/pr000214a.asp<br>
<br>
"TUMWATER - An Idaho employer must pay more than $95,000 in unpaid wages
to<br>
12 current and former employees in the Spokane area according to a<br>
settlement agreement announced today by the Department of Labor and<br>
Industries.<br>
<br>
John Ficca, of Moscow, Idaho, owner of Art's Electric, Inc., also has been<br>
permanently prohibited from bidding on or performing work on future public<br>
works projects in Washington. Ficca also does business as Palouse Country<br>
Electric and U Cities Contracting."<br>
<br>
It appears that perhaps the state of Idaho may be interested in the business<br>
posture of "Palouse Rental and Construction" as it makes political<br>
contributions to a select few (Steed, Krauss, and Carscallen) of Moscow's<br>
city council candidates.<br>
<br>
One can only wonder how Moscow will be divvied up . . . er . . . uh . . . I<br>
mean rezoned come January if Palouse Rental and Construction should gain<br>
three seats on our city council.<br>
<br>
Things that make you go . . .<br>
<br>
Hmmm. <br>

Seeya round town, Moscow.<br>
