<DIV><FONT size=2>The Hawkins agreement does not prevent Moscow from protesting
anything they wish about the Hawkins project.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>That is because the agreement with Hawkins was/is void
<EM>ab initio</EM> because when it was executed (and remains) contrary
to state law. The agreement and its terms are unenforceable by
either party. I have posted Idaho case law on this matter
previously. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Further when the IDWR pointed this out to the city, the city
could have challenged the IDWR on this by filing for declaratory relief -- a
simple and inexpensive process. The city did not. The answer
was clear or should have been. Instead we had the two sneaky
Schroeder/Steed passes at changing the law. Even if that had succeeded,
the original agreement would still be void. A new agreement would be
necessary and all its terms up for consideration, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>That's part of the whole stupidity of this mess wrought by the
Hawkins Five -- their ignorance of the applicable laws and the ignorance of
outside counsel they spent about $15,000 on. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Some of the Hawkins Five have apparently not yet
learned the simple civics lesson from this fiasco: On important matters
with significant impact, work assiduously and without undue haste to promote, to
receive, and to consider public input.</FONT></DIV>
