<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman">I know the tactic is
to repeat the lie so often it becomes accepted fact but, Moscow is, in
fact, subsidizing nothing. Hawkins will be paying its own way at full
market rate. Using your "subsidy" rational the U of I is subsidizing the
education of Washington's students by allowing them access to our
classrooms and instructors at out of state rates</FONT>.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Classic case of being careful what you wish for along with the
law of unintended consequences. Irony indeed!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>How curious, when it was about preventing a Super Wal-Mart at
Mtn. View and the Troy Rd. the anti argument was how Wal-Mart didn't really
bring much revenue to the community and that since there would be one in
Pullman, Moscow would have no need for such a business. This strikes me as a
perfect example of talking out of both sides of ones mouth.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The rest of your post seems to consist of innuendo, idle
speculation, and unsubstantiated accusations but I do agree that we should do
something. Might I suggest giving the repetitive falsehoods specious outrage a
rest? I, personally with be thanking our current council for their diligent
efforts in making Moscow something other then a shriveling suburb of
Pullman.</FONT></DIV>

size=2>> <BR>>> Moscow citizens need to take a good look at what the
city council's <BR>>> decision to provide water and sewer to the Hawkins
company will bring.<BR>>> Yesterday's Daily News posted some serious
speculation about WalMart <BR>>> building a Super Center in the Hawkin's
development. Earlier, I did <BR>>> have a suspicion that was a distinct
possibility. I could not see how <BR>>> a Lowes could be the anchor store.
WalMart, Idaho division, remains <BR>>> tight lipped about its plans, but
would not rule out the possibility. <BR>>> A local WalMart employee
speculated that it is a reality.<BR>>> By providing water and sewer
service across the state line, Moscow <BR>>> taxpayers may now subsidize
the construction of WalMart. Whitman <BR>>> county taxpayers are providing
over 10 million in infrastructure <BR>>> development. This is an
ultimate irony since both communities have <BR>>> waged campaigns against
the building of a Super Center in their <BR>>> communities. And in
Moscow's case, we are dealing a vast economic blow <BR>>> to our
community.<BR>>> Much more is going on than we citizens know. What other
"deals" are <BR>>> happening behind closed doors?<BR>>> I do feel
that if WalMart comes in it will prove how inept, and most <BR>>> likely,
corrupt the current Moscow city council is. The council will <BR>>> no
doubt plead ignorance, and do so with an arrogant smile.<BR>> We need to do
something and do it quickly. Any ideas?<BR>>><BR>> <BR>>> Roger
