&gt;&gt; Greetings Visionaires -<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; &quot;Moscow Cares&quot; has just received a copy of a letter addressed from Brian<br>
&gt;&gt; Ness (Director, Idaho Transportation Department) to the ITD Civil<br>
&gt;&gt; Litigation Division, Erik Stridham (attorney for Exxon/Mobil), and<br>
&gt;&gt; Natalie<br>
&gt;&gt; Havlina (attorney for plaintiffs Laughy, Hendrickson, and Grubb)<br>
&gt;&gt; concerning, and granting, a &quot;formal contested case hearing&quot;.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; It is felt by the plaintiffs that this is &quot;a good step because it allows<br>
&gt;&gt; a<br>
&gt;&gt; full and fair hearing and is a good step forward for the public&quot;.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
