<div><div dir="ltr">So Tom 'the trasher' Hansen can smear anyone and everyone. Well isn't that just horrible. Just keep in mind that Tom's judge of character is completely and totally warped. Best to get the full story before jumping to conclusions like Tom routinely does. I also think the viz would be better served by discussing pros / cons of each candidate's specific positions rather than Tom simply cheerleading his own pet candidates while trashing other candidates based on little more than two word sound bites and out of context quotes. But apparently that's just me who thinks that, so I expect Tom to continue slinging crap against public officials, those running for office, and others in the community and on v2020 whose opinions and party affiliation don't align with what he thinks is best for everyone else. And yet I still hope that most others are much more mature and can see right through Tom's
foolery.<br><br><div><hr id="ecxyiv2799800180stopSpelling">Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2013 05:57:48 -0700<br>From: donovanjarnold2005@yahoo.com<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Bill "The Bully" Lambert<br>To: scooterd408@hotmail.com; donaldrose@cpcinternet.com; v2020@ssl1.fastmail.fm; vision2020@moscow.com<br><br><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><div><span></span></div><div>"You'd be giving Bill Lambert a free pass to unleash his <span class="ecxyiv2799800180mark" id="ecxyiv2799800180ecxmisspell-0">virtriol</span> if his political leanings aligned with yours much the same way you give Tom a free pass" --Scott Dredge</div><div> </div><div>There is an important distinction here that Mr. Dredge is missing.

Lambert was speaking, and a gentleman seated in the first or second row (<span class="ecxyiv2799800180mark" id="ecxyiv2799800180ecxmisspell-34">IIRC</span>) raised his hand to indicate that he couldn't hear what was being said.

Mr. <span class="ecxyiv2799800180mark" id="ecxyiv2799800180ecxmisspell-36">Schutz</span> again asked the commissioners to remember to keep their voices up, and I believe the discussion continued briefly before Mr. Lambert again couldn't be heard and the gentleman again raised his hand and said something like, "Can you please speak UP?

Mind you, the audience was appropriately orderly, so it's not like people talking in the gallery were the
cause. There was a bit more to Mr. Lambert's rant, but I was so aghast I don't recall further specifics other than there was *no difficulty* hearing what he was saying then, so clearly Mr. Lambert was capable of making himself heard when he wanted to.</div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText"> </div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">At that point, the gentleman got up to leave, saying something like, "Public meetings don't do any good if the public can't hear" as he left. I think it was clear to all present that the gentleman wasn't happy, and my eyebrows weren't the only ones raised at Mr. Lambert's reprehensible behavior.</div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText"> </div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">My recollection is that this all happened within the first 15 minutes or so of the meeting, but again, it was almost two years

I've been to a lot of government meetings in my life, and outside some in the UK, and I'd never seen anything quite like Mr. Lambert's attack on those who couldn't make out his mumbling. Quite frankly, his conduct was inappropriate, he was disrespectful to his fellow commissioners and to the audience, and his behavior was an embarrassment to the City he was appointed to represent.</div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">Not only was the gentleman who was the target of Mr. Lambert's rant due an apology, but so, too, were the rest of us present. However, none was forthcoming at that meeting or any of the subsequent P&Z meetings I attended.</div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText"> </div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">I'll also interject that the gentleman was only one of *many* who were having difficulty hearing the
meeting.

Interestingly -- or not -- members of the audience continued to have some difficulty making out what Mr. Lambert said because microphones don't do much good if they aren't spoken into.</div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText"> </div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">Mr. Lambert created such a spectacle of himself I'll not soon forget it.</div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText"> </div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">And, it's really too bad he didn't have the good sense to
simply apologize as others have done -- were it not for his arrogance and had he done the right thing by apologizing, he might well have gotten one of my votes for City Council. As it is, I'll always remember his inappropriate public behavior, his poor judgment, and his tendency to fly off the handle with little or no provocation; none of those are qualities I want in my elected officials.</div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText"> </div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText"> </div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">Saundra Lund</div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">Moscow, ID</div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText"> </div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.</div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">- Edmund Burke</div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText"> </div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">-----Original Message-----</div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">From: Mark Solomon [<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="mailto:msolomon@moscow.com"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;">mailto:msolomon@moscow.com</span></a>]</div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 1:56 PM</div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">To: Saundra Lund; <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="mailto:vision2020@moscow.com"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;">vision2020@moscow.com</span></a></div><div class="ecxyiv2799800180ecxyiv6963020685ecxMsoPlainText">Subject: Re:
