to convince all of us of three things: One, that only out-of-touch
liberals would oppose the mall; two, that Moscow is woefully underserved by big
stores selling cheap stuff; and three, that there is an economic/social war
going on between Pullman and Moscow, and if we don't "win" by
expanding in any way possible, we'll be forever consigned to a
poverty-stricken, hillbilly'ed existence.<br>
<br>
I would welcome retail as a response to solid, forward-thinking growth, but
when growth is primarily retail, it isn't the kind of permanent, sustainable,
viable growth that <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>
needs.<br>
<br>
Funny, but not really, is that these same Libertarians who want metastasizing
growth of any type are so often opposed to facilities improvement for public
schools and municipal services. I would find that interesting if it
weren't for the fact that quality of life for people who aren't among their
group and associates is always less important in their eyes than more
opportunities to eat up land and plop retail outlets on every available
inch. I suppose that "the market" provides a better altar than
human services and public infrastructure.<br>

long strip mall.....<br>
And you can read in today's Lewiston Tribune (below) that the first big step in
that direction will likely soon be taken. The new Moscow City Council is
under pressure to sell use of <st1:City w:st="on">Moscow</st1:City> utilities
(like sewage and water, and possibly police/fire protection) to the planned

politicians that they are) seem to be willing to ignore the real
issues and fall for a cheap payoff.<br>
If the <st1:City w:st="on">Moscow</st1:City> council ships utilities
across the state line to enable this strip mall, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City> will face a series of problems,
including:<br>
--depletion of the aquifer that supplies this town with most of its water<br>
--massive sprawl that will further uglify the Palouse and ravage existing
downtown vitality<br>
--bankruptcy of Moscow businesses unable to compete with this new shopping mall
<br>
--continuing future upgrades of Moscow infrastructure to cover the demands
made by this extension of services, upgrades that will be paid for by Moscow
taxpayers<br>
Is this what <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>

<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">MOSCOW</st1:place></st1:City> -
Politics here may have shifted enough after the November election to trigger
talks about the city providing water and sewer services across the state line
for the proposed Hawkins Co. shopping center.<br>
A majority of <st1:City w:st="on">Moscow</st1:City> city councilors, <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Whitman</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">County</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> commissioners and a spokesman for
Hawkins told the Lewiston Tribune there's renewed potential for cooperation.<br>
This despite <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>'s
continued legal challenge of Hawkins' attempts to secure water rights to drill
its own wells for the 700,000-square-foot shopping mall.<br>
The situation comes as the first of two public comment meetings has been
scheduled in Colfax on Monday. The county commissioners will take comments,
beginning at 1:30 p.m., regarding Hawkins' recent request for <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Whitman</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">County</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>
to float revenue bonds of more than $10 million to help fund infrastructure
(including water and sewer) for the development.<br>
A <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Whitman</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">County</st1:PlaceType>
pro-business citizens group, meanwhile, Friday endorsed the proposed bond issue
and called on <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>
officials to drop their water rights appeal against Hawkins.<br>
"It's clear <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>'s
appeals are not about water but about keeping out particular kinds of
businesses," April Coggins, spokeswoman for Businesses and Residents for
Economic Opportunity wrote in a news release. "That attitude was rejected
by <st1:City w:st="on">Moscow</st1:City> voters in November and it is our hope
that the new <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>
city council will see things differently and seek to cooperate with their
neighbors."<br>
<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>'s
waterlines extend right up to the Hawkins property, and the sewage treatment
plant is located nearby.<br>
"Hawkins is always open to talking to the city of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>," said Jeff De Voe, project
manager for the proposed shopping center. He declined further comment because
of the pending legal appeal.<br>
It remains unclear how much money <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>
might make (through fees) or Hawkins might save if the two entities can reach
an agreement about water and sewer services. But City Attorney Randy Fife and
Public Works Director Les McDonald confirmed that a hookup of services is both
legal and technically possible.<br>
Whitman County Commissioners Jerry Finch and Greg Partch, who continue to
champion the Hawkins project as the beginning of retail development between
here and <st1:City w:st="on">Pullman</st1:City>, said it's time for <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City> to either join
ranks or get out of the way.<br>
"<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>
didn't say no, they said hell no," Finch said about the city's refusal to
cooperate with development of the mall. "Before the election, it's pretty
obvious the door had been slammed."<br>
Three new <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>
councilors were elected in November and appear to have become part of a
five-member, pro-business majority. The three, Walter Steed, Dan Carscallen and
Wayne Krauss, along with council President Bill Lambert, all said they are
willing to talk with Hawkins and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Whitman</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">County</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> officials about
water and sewer services. Councilor John Weber couldn't be reached for comment,
but indicated in the past he favors cooperation.<br>
Only Councilor Tom Lamar, who has gone on record opposing retail development in
the corridor, balked at renewed talks. "I think the best way for Hawkins
to tap into our sewer and water is to locate in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>," Lamar said.<br>
Moscow Mayor Nancy Chaney, who's been accused of spearheading efforts to thwart
the Hawkins project, said her intentions are rooted in environmental and
groundwater concerns. That was confirmed by McDonald. "The mayor's driving
concern," he said, "is the water resource that the whole region
relies upon.<br>
"<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>
has always been open to talking," said Chaney, adding that the table for
such discussion has already been set through the water rights appeal. She said
the city has proposed mediation as a means of settling the issue.<br>
But Partch said talks, if they happen, shouldn't happen in a legal arena.
Withdrawal of the appeal, he said, would be the best way for <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City> to show good faith. "That would
be a huge gesture on their part," he said, "and we would certainly
like to work with them."<br>
The water rights appeal hearings are scheduled to begin in March.<br>
"You can't build without water," Finch said, adding that many people
think Chaney is simply using the water issue as the only legal lever available
to stop retail development in the corridor. "She's the one who seems to be
dead set against it."<br>
A shopping center, said Finch and Partch, is not necessarily a big water
consumer. But it would surely be a big revenue producer for the county.<br>
According to county records, the undeveloped Hawkins acreage, which abuts the <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City> city limits and
the Washington-Idaho state line, currently generates about $1,400 in annual tax
revenue. If the mall is developed to full capacity, it could produce nearly
$1.8 million in annual property and sales taxes for the county, De Voe told the
commissioners when making his pitch for the $10 million in infrastructure
bonds.<br>
While <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>
couldn't directly tap into those tax dollars, councilors here said the city
might be able to negotiate a fee for water and sewer services that translates
into a profit.<br>
"If it's going to happen and we can sell them something," Lambert
said, "why not?"<br>
"I'm very anxious to get together with entities across the border,"
said Krauss.<br>
"I would be interested in talking about the possibility of extending
services to Hawkins," Steed said.<br>
"I think that I would," Carscallen said about talking. Whether
Hawkins connects to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>
or drills its own wells, he said, doesn't seem to make a lot of difference.
"They're going to get it out of the same tub we're getting ours."<br>
Researchers have said the underground aquifers on the Palouse have been
steadily dropping. But, lacking data about just how much water is available,
the same scientists have said a water management challenge is at hand, not a
crisis.<br>
Finch suggested its up to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>
officials, since they've filed the appeal against Hawkins, to propose new
talks. "If they send us a letter, I would find it more receptive," he
said.<br>
But Lambert said the catalyst for talks might have to come from elsewhere.
"I don't see why it would hurt for these people to approach us. Somebody
has to generate it, but it wouldn't be something generated by the council, per
