I may or may not agree with you on the topics, but you, as well as even some of the intellectually challenged that post on the Vis have a right to say it.</div><div><br></div><div>If, as stated by Tom, one of the issues is a University of Idaho police department, I'd be interested in that topic for a number of reasons. For instance, would it be a "for profit" contractor? Would it be a state police agency similar to what WSU has? How much would the city save by not being the University's police department? What would their authority be? Would they be police officers or security guards? What about mutual aid to and from the local agencies? It is my understanding that the City has "bid" on the contract, has the Sheriff's Department? Plus, aside from what ever "private security" functions the police department provides to the university, if any, isn't the police department obliged to police the University anyway just by virtue of it being in the city without any kind of contract for monetary offset? </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Just curious</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Mar 16, 2010, at 12:22 PM, Garrett Clevenger wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Courier; ">Dan writes:</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Courier; min-height: 16px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Courier; ">"I'm far more concerned with a few local things going on here recently that I wish I could discuss, or at least hear what the Vizzz peeps think about it."</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Courier; min-height: 16px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Courier; min-height: 16px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Courier; ">Enquiring minds want to know.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Courier; min-height: 16px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Courier; ">You're not going to leave us hanging on such a note, I hope.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Courier; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Courier; ">Give us your thoughts and let the chips fall...</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Courier; "><br></div><br>Garrett Clevenger</td></tr></tbody></table>=======================================================<br> List services made available by First Step Internet, <br> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994. <br> <a href="http://www.fsr.net">http://www.fsr.net</a> <br> <a href="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com">mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com</a><br>=======================================================</blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
