<DIV>Mike,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You are little nicer than me. I want to see MSD dedicate the money first, then I would support them. I don't understand why they cannot promise $1,500,000 of their $7,000,000+ cannot go to non college bound students. I don't think that is unfair to ask.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>They promise nothing with the taxpayers money except to spend it. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best,</DIV> <DIV><BR>Donovan<BR><BR><B><I>Mike Finkbiner <mike_l_f@hotmail.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">My son graduated from Moscow High and I know several teachers who have <BR>worked in the district.<BR><BR>We are not identical to Pullman, but I get very tired of hearing that we <BR>can't compare ourselves to them.
