<DIV><BR></DIV>All: Thank you for copying me on this exchange. All of the
points are important, and reflect our common concern for this place, including
our community and the planet.<BR><BR>The point of tonight's meeting is to
exchange information about a particular proposal, to be factually informed and
to ask questions and state concerns for the best possible outcome. <BR><BR>It
is not within the City's authority to approve or deny permits for the
ExonMobil loads. It is within ITD's authority to do so. I encourage attendees
to give ITD the tools it needs to make a reasoned and defensible decision,
including addressing whether transport comports with the standard of necessity
(i.e. whether it is inescapable or compulsory), whether there are feasible
alternatives, whether dimensions and weight have been reduced to the extent
possible/practicable, public safety, access to public facilities, and to
anticipate placing conditions on such aspects as allowable times of use,
acceptable durations of delay and definition thereof, routes, indemnity for
injury to persons or property, allowable conditions of operation (weather,
darkness, traffic), and requirements for flagging, signing, and lighting,
etc. <BR><BR>The topic of dependence on fossil fuels and its
environmental implications is vitally important, but cannot be resolved at
tonight's meeting. I have scheduled a follow-up report and synopsis of
tonight's meeting for the City Council meeting on Mon 5/16, and asked that
Moscow Sustainable Environment Commission take on the task of developing
recommendations based on public input and its own research for the City
Council's consideration. There will be future opportunities for the public to
address those larger concerns. It would be counterproductive to open that
discussion tonight. Thank you for your consideration.<BR><BR>Nancy J. Chaney,

But that doesn't change any of the facts on<BR>> the ground. The meeting is
still a farce because it won't be to discuss the<BR>> concerns of the Idaho
and Moscow residents unless they are technical<BR>> questions about how the
transportation will proceed.<BR><BR>We are to accept that discussion of other
so called non-local issues<BR>regarding the mega-loads are off limits, that
this meeting is to focus<BR>only on the impacts to the city of the loads
passing through the area.<BR> So, to use a worn out yet apt analogy, if
the mega-loads were holding<BR>concentraton camp prisoners on their way to the
gas chambers, as long<BR>as the impacts to the city were acceptable, the
morality or economics<BR>etc. of the ultimate non-local goals of the
mega-loads is not to be<BR>addressed.<BR><BR>Actually, my analogy is not
exactly correct, given that the ultimate<BR>consequences of the mega-loads
will have profound direct local<BR>impacts, eventually. The oil sands
development in Canada is a<BR>profound moral issue for everyone on this
planet, impacting economics<BR>and the lives of millions of people. I'll
let NASA climate scientist<BR>James Hansen clarify the issue, by quoting
excerpts from his<BR>acceptance speech for the Sophie Prize, given the focus
on Norway's<BR>Statoil investments in Canadian tar sands
development:<BR><BR>Speech by Sophie Prize winner Dr. James E.
Hansen<BR><BR>June 22th 2010<BR><BR><A
href="http://www.sofieprisen.no/Articles/514.html">http://www.sofieprisen.no/Articles/514.html</A><BR><BR>Our
planet today is close to climate tipping points. Ice is melting in<BR>the
Arctic, on Greenland and Antarctica, and on mountain glaciers<BR>worldwide.
Many species are stressed by environmental destruction and<BR>climate change.
Continuing fossil fuel emissions, if unabated, will<BR>cause sea level rise
and species extinction accelerating out of<BR>humanity's control. Increasing
atmospheric water vapor is already<BR>magnifying climate extremes, increasing
overall precipitation, causing<BR>greater floods and stronger
storms.<BR><BR>But our governments have no intention of solving the fossil
fuel and<BR>climate problem, as is easy to prove: the United States, Canadian
and<BR>Norwegian governments are going right ahead developing the tar
sands,<BR>which, if it is not halted, will make it impossible to
stabilize<BR>climate. Our governments knowingly abdicate responsibility for
young<BR>people and future generations. I have been disappointed
in<BR>interactions with more than half a dozen nations. In the end,
they<BR>offer only soothing words, "goals" for emission reductions at far
off<BR>dates, while their actual deeds prevent stabilization of
climate.<BR><BR>The Sophie Prize provides a new opportunity to draw attention
to the<BR>actions that are needed to stabilize climate. Norway may be the
best<BR>place, with its history of environmentalism. I can imagine
Norway<BR>standing tall among nations, taking real action to address
climate<BR>change, drawing attention to the hypocrisy in the words
and<BR>pseudo-actions of other nations.<BR><BR>So I wrote a letter to the
Prime Minister suggesting that the<BR>government, as the majority owner of
Statoil, should intervene in<BR>planned tar sands development. I appreciate
the polite response, by<BR>letter, from the Deputy Minister of Petroleum and
Energy. The<BR>government position is that the tar sands investment is "a
commercial<BR>decision", that the government should not interfere, and that a
"vast<BR>majority in the Norwegian parliament" agree that this
constitutes<BR>"good corporate governance". The Deputy Minister concluded his
letter<BR>"I can however assure you that we will continue our offensive
stance<BR>on climate change issues both at home and abroad".<BR><BR>A
Norwegian grandfather, upon reading the Deputy Minister's letter,<BR>quoted
Saint Augustine: "Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays
to<BR>virtue."<BR><BR>The Norwegian government's position is a staggering
reaffirmation of<BR>the global situation: even the greenest governments find
it too<BR>inconvenient to address the implication of scientific facts.
Perhaps<BR>our governments are in the hip pocket of the fossil fuel industry
–<BR>but that is not for science to say.<BR><BR>What I can say from the
science is this: the plans that governments,<BR>including Norway, are adopting
spell disaster for young people and<BR>future generations. And we are running
out of time.<BR><BR>Stabilizing climate is a moral issue, a matter of
intergenerational<BR>justice. Young people, and older people who support the
young and the<BR>other species on the planet, must unite in demanding an
effective<BR>approach that preserves our
planet.<BR>------------------------------------------<BR>Vision2020 Post: Ted
Moffett<BR><BR>><BR>> In all fairness, Council President Krauss was
correct that the<BR>> mega-loads were not Moscow's specific concern because
at the time he said it<BR>> the loads were not scheduled to come through
Moscow.<BR>><BR>> The only thing people of Moscow are being offered is
lip service and<BR>> information on how the mega-loads are going to come
roaring through downtown<BR>> in the dead of night. Where is the meeting on
how and what is being done to<BR>> prevent this from happening? Until that
happens, people are just being<BR>> played with by the politicians,
lawyers, and the big oil companies that fund<BR>> them.<BR>><BR>>
Remember Governor Cecil D. Andrus and how he blocked the Feds from
entering<BR>> the state with nuclear waste?<BR>><BR>> "I've got
a state policeman and 15 of his friends, and all of them are<BR>> prepared
to do what is necessary if that truck makes it inside the borders<BR>> of
this state."<BR>> <A

Too bad we don't have politicians with courage and a working moral
compass<BR>> today that really look out for the people they represent! The
rights of<BR>> local citizens and property owners, and our pristine
irreplaceable<BR>> environment should not be ignored or put at risk of
destruction in favor of<BR>> the most privileged billionaires that offer

Date: Wednesday, May 11, 2011, 8:27 AM<BR>><BR>><BR>> A little
history lesson here, Mr. Arnold . . .<BR>><BR>> On June 28, 2010 the
Idaho Transportation Department began what was<BR>> expected to be a series
of community discussions in Moscow, Lewiston, and<BR>> Kamiah. ITD,
Conoco, and ExxonMobil were under the impression that these<BR>> forums
were to be conducted similar to a "high school career day" where<BR>>
representatives from Conoco and ExxonMobil would present a short
speech<BR>> from their respective displays. Shortly after Rep. Tom
Trail arrived at<BR>> the meeting, was informed of the meeting's format,
and had a "discussion"<BR>> with the ITD rep, the forum was re-formatted to
include a Q&A portion.<BR>><BR>> <A
href="http://www.moscowcares.com/highway12/ITDmtg_062810.htm">http://www.moscowcares.com/highway12/ITDmtg_062810.htm</A><BR>><BR>>
----------------------<BR>><BR>> On August 16, 2010, during the public
commentary portion of the Moscow<BR>> City Council session, it was
suggested that Moscow adopt a resolution<BR>> against the transporting of
oversized loads on Highway 12.<BR>><BR>> To which Moscow City Council
President Wayne Krauss responded, on<BR>> September 6th, that the megaloads
were none of Moscow's concern.<BR>><BR>> <A

----------------------<BR>><BR>> On April 4, 2011 the Idaho
Transportation Department presented a report to<BR>> the Moscow City
Council outlining US95 and I90 as alternate routes for a<BR>> portion of
the Highway 12 megaloads. In strong suggestive language (using<BR>>
terms like "right" and "ethics") Mayor Chaney asked that a public forum
be<BR>> conducted in Moscow so that Moscow's citizens may be heard on this
issue.<BR>><BR>> <A

----------------------<BR>><BR>> On April 18, 2011, during the Moscow
City Council session, Mayor Chaney<BR>> presented an update concerning the
potential for megaloads being<BR>> transported through Moscow on
US95.<BR>><BR>> <A

Arnold. In my opinion, where the people of Moscow<BR>> are concerned,
Mayor Chaney has their back.<BR>><BR>> Perhaps your anguish would be
better aimed at Moscow City Council<BR>> President Wayne Krauss who
publicly expressed that these megaloads are not<BR>> of Moscow's
concern.<BR>><BR>> Footnote, V-peeps: Although Rep. Tom Trail and
Moscow City Council<BR>> President Wayne Krauss are both members of the
Republican Party, there are<BR>> three words that clearly define the

permits, or said when they will. The Moscow<BR>>>> semi-megaload
route has been chosen because of the delays in getting<BR>>>>
megaloads up the scenic U.S. Highway 12
corridor.<BR>>>><BR>>>> ExxonMobil and Idaho Transportation
Department officials haveÂ<BR>>>> deigned to<BR>>>> listen
to Moscow's concerns about that at 7 p.m. Wednesday at theÂ<BR>>>>
Hamilton<BR>>>> Indoor Recreation Center, 1724 E. F

Mayor Nancy Chaney apparently has declared the morality of
ExxonMobil<BR>>>> profits, the Kearl Oil Sands project and fossil
fuel consumption<BR>>>> off-limits for discussion Wednesday
night.<BR>>>><BR>>>> ExxonMobil made profits of $10.7
billion in first quarter 2011. SomeÂ<BR>>>> say<BR>>>> the
Kearl Oil Sands project is destroying the Canadian environment
and<BR>>>> killing residents of the
area.<BR>>>><BR>>>> Still, that leaves plenty of questions
that need answers:<BR>>>><BR>>>> Who makes sure delays are
only 15 minutes? What happens if theyÂ<BR>>>>
aren't?<BR>>>><BR>>>> Will all cross-streets in Moscow be
closed?<BR>>>><BR>>>> Is it a delay if traffic keeps moving
at 15 miles an hour behind the<BR>>>> convoy? (The ITD says it isn't
a delay; federal rules say it is.)<BR>>>><BR>>>> Who pays
for moving power lines and stoplights out of the
way?<BR>>>><BR>>>> Will this semi-megaload convoy be likely
to wake me up when it goesÂ<BR>>>> by my<BR>>>> house or
apartment?<BR>>>><BR>>>> Will you notify shippers - and the
media so they can alert theÂ<BR>>>> public - in<BR>>>>
advance of a convoy?<BR>>>><BR>>>> Once permits are issued,
can their terms be changed without notice?<BR>>>><BR>>>>
What if state police escorts get called to an emergency? Will
thatÂ<BR>>>> stall<BR>>>> the
convoy?<BR>>>><BR>>>> What if Montana won't let the
semi-megaloads in?<BR>>>><BR>>>> Let's hope we hear some
