and Jay's position is that Exxon Mobil paid for police security going up Highway 12 (and is still paying for it as the load sits there being ugly); and, according to our mayor, Exxon-Mobil is willing to pay the Moscow <SPAN id=misspell-5>MPD</SPAN> for any extra costs. I don't know why Nancy would tell me something that is not true, so this ends, for me at least, the discussion about who should pay.<BR><BR>Nick<BR><BR>Paul states,<BR> <BR>"As a property tax payer, I'd rather pay for general police coverage that way than to have to have a credit card handy when I dial 911."<BR> <BR>Paul, I think that is an excellent counter argument to a claim that people should be required to personally finance the costs of their legitimate emergencies to the city. But since that claim was never made I am unsure as to why you would make it.<BR> <BR>However, I am sure that many for profit businesses would be pleased to hear that
you are willing to pay a share of their costs of doing business by transferring their company responsibilities to publicly funded government agencies they don't pay into. I am not so willing and generous as you are, apparently. I believe that general city services should be used for the general public not to pawn off expenses of private for profit companies to local taxpayers.<BR> <BR>Donovan Arnold<BR><BR><BR>>>> > =======================================================<BR>>>><BR>>><BR><BR><BR><BR></DIV></DIV></div></body></html>
