<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Saundra,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Thank you again for pointing out that the
consequences of the megaloads far transcend local considerations -- a point that
proponents either refuse to recognize or have not the guts to deal in an
honest manner with.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Several of us have commented at length on these
issues, but basically proponents act like no one has brought them up, that they
are unimportant, and/or irrelevant. Obviously the proponents are not the
"my brother's keeper type" and are among those that are generally parts of
problems but not parts of solutions. Part of the tough problems that our
country and the world now face are caused by similar individuals though
capable are unwilling to do or to pay their share.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Walter Steed has been a sneak and a behind the
scenes manipulator with many conflicts of interest since the beginning of his
tenure as a city councilperson.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>I hope that those city employees who work at the
city hall receive hazard pay. They are in constant peril of injuring
themselves by slipping on the prolific slime trail that Steed leaves wherever he
goes. It would not surprise me that even those that avail themselves
of Steed's "services" wash their hands thoroughly with a strong
disinfectant after each transaction. </FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"> will ship the smaller of two oversized loads through
Moscow tonight under permits reissued by the <B>Idaho Transportation
Department</B>.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in" class=storybody><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">ITD
reissued permits to transport two oversized loads of oil refinery equipment
along U.S. Highway 95 and Interstate 90 on Wednesday with a five-day window that
starts today.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in" class=storybody><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">"Our
plan is to begin moving the first of the two initial modules on Friday night,"
Pius Rolheiser, Imperial Oil spokesman, said. "The second one, the timing has
yet to be determined."<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in" class=storybody><B><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The Idaho State Police</SPAN></B><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"> weighed both loads Thursday, and the smaller shipment
is slated to <B>leave the Port of Lewiston at 10 p.m.</B> today with two ISP
escorts, two pilot cars and three flagging crews. Its first scheduled stop will
be at the Latah/Benewah county line followed by a stop three miles east of Coeur
d'Alene before connecting to I-90.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in" class=storybody><B><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Capt. Lonnie Richardson of ISP Region 2 in Lewiston said
his department will be briefed at 8 p.m.</SPAN></B><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"> today prior to escorting the shipment, which is not
required under the permit. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in" class=storybody><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Because the shipment is 14 feet wide, it could also be
transported in the daytime, but <B>Rolheiser said the company wants to maintain
the same protocol for both loads, which means it would use ISP escorts and
travel between 10 p.m. and 5:30 a.m</B><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">OK, so I know caring about the
megaloads moving through Moscow makes me a commie subversivo or something stupid
like that to some, but . . . <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">What does that make the people
who think we can “trust” ITD, Imperial Oil/ExxonMobil, or even the ISP to be
honest? Idiots? Morons? Sell-outs? Corporate shills
lacking even a modicum of ethics?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">For those who don’t know, the
baby mega-load apparently rolled through Moscow at approx. 10 PM last
night.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Which means Imperial
Oil/ExxonMobil lied when it said, “the company wants to maintain the same
protocol for both loads.” It kept the ISP “escorts” but ditched the time
limitations.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">News Flash: if they are
willing to lie about the little stuff, they’ll have not a concern in the world
in lying about the Big Stuff. Maybe I’m the only one, but I was genuinely
shocked by the dishonesty surrounding the baby megaload’s transit through
Moscow.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">It also means that the ISP --
perhaps taking a page from the “orderly & law-abiding protestors are scary”
book used by Moscow’s own Parks & Rec “Director” Dwight Curtis took –
apparently wasn’t quite accurate in announcing that the ISP briefing was at 8 PM
last night before the scheduled 10 PM departure with ISP escorts. It
doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that there’s no way in heck that
time line was truthful when the load hit Moscow at 10 PM.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Reportedly, the baby megaload
didn’t even pause at its “scheduled” stop at the county line in spite of the
welcome mat Walter Steed & his toadies positively wet themselves (and likely
violated Idaho Public Meeting Law in the process) rolling
out.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Of course, Steed’s whole feel
good faux resolution was nothing more than insulting to begin with. Only
the uninformed – which definitely shouldn’t have been voting Council members –
were unaware of the fact that the megaloads don’t purchase fuel locally.
Duh.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">And as for utilizing Moscow
motels?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Perhaps in Walter’s World,
“knocking off for the day” after two hours’ work makes sense to patronize Moscow
motels, but that’s <B>not</B> the real world, as the baby mega-load’s transport
last night proved.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Let me rephrase that.
There <B>is</B> a profession – perhaps the world’s oldest -- that utilizes motel
rooms for a couple of hours’ work. Given Steed’s faux resolution, one
can’t help but wonder about the source of his . . .
confusion.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I went out (and dragged my dh –
who deserves a gold star – along with me) last night because I was curious to
see things for myself to form my own opinion based of what I saw with my own
eyes. I knew it was just a baby mega-load, but since they are keeping the
transit of the real mega-load Top Secret, it was the best I could
do.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I’m left wondering why, if the
whole thing is as innocuous as the now <B>proven</B> liars want us to believe,
they are being so secretive???<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I’m also <B>extremely</B>
concerned about the apparent lack of communication with local law enforcement
(MPD). I tried to chat with two of Moscow’s “finest” I saw out & about
strolling around downtown last night, and they said they didn’t know
anything. Really? If that’s the case, we all should be very
concerned. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Frankly, I was quite taken aback
by their behavior. I am a law abiding & tax paying citizen who has
always previously felt comfortable chatting with truly Moscow’s finest for the
2+ decades I’ve lived here.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">The two last night? Not so
much. In fact, they were positively rude . . . I was literally talking to
their backs before my less-than-10-second question was even out of my mouth.
And, no – they weren’t in a hurry to respond to a call because I
watched them leisurely lumber down the block without a care in the
world. I’m sorry to say I now have a better understanding of the comments
I’ve been hearing in recent years that MPD seems to have developed an unfriendly
attitude towards normal people.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
