<div dir="ltr">Why is any of this so hard to comprehend? The article breaks down into
two key points which are the results of the investigation and why the
minutiae can't be disclosed.<br><br>1) “The key finding was: We violated no law, that lapses of judgment were
made around the procurement policy and conflict-of-interest policy,”<br><br>2)
the public will never be able to see Mack’s recommendations
or findings. “It deals with personnel, and it’s done under
attorney-client privilege,”<br><br>If this still makes you say 'WHAT?',
then my guess is that you don't believe in the rule of law which is just
too darn bad because that's our system of governance.<br><br>-Scott<br><br><div><hr id="ecxstopSpelling">From: <a href="mailto:thansen@moscow.com">thansen@moscow.com</a><br>Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:15:52 -0800<br>To: <a href="mailto:lfalen@turbonet.com">lfalen@turbonet.com</a><br>CC: <a href="mailto:vision2020@moscow.com">vision2020@moscow.com</a><br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Things that make you say, "WHAT?"<br><br><div><span></span></div><div><div>And, Mr. Falen, although I didn't come right out and say it . . .</div><div><br></div><div>We are in agreement.</div><div><br></div><div>Our elected officials should be entirely open to the people of Idaho.</div><div><br></div><div><IdahoCode_67_2340.JPG><br><br><div>Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .</div><div><br></div><div>"Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)</div><div><a href="http://www.MoscowCares.com" target="_blank">http://www.MoscowCares.com</a></div><div> </div><div><div>Tom Hansen</div><div>Moscow, Idaho</div><div><br></div><div>"<span style="font-size:medium;">There's room at the top they are telling you still</span><span style="font-size:medium;"> </span></div><span style="font-size:medium;">But first you must learn how to smile as you kill </span><br style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;">If you want to be like the folks on the hill."</span></div><div><font size="3"><span style=""><br></span></font></div><div><font size="3"><span style="">- John Lennon<br></span></font><div> </div></div><div><br></div></div><div><br>On Nov 13, 2013, at 10:58 AM, lfalen <<a href="mailto:lfalen@turbonet.com">lfalen@turbonet.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote><div><style><!--

These things should be public knowledge. The purpose of A Freedom of Information Request is to compel them to do what they should. Anyone can, not everyone needs too. The problem is that if they do not wish to honor your request, then you have to go to the District Court to compel them too release the information. This costs money, which makes to harder do. Therefore said government agency can get away with denying the request. The forms can be picked up at the County Clerks office.

<div>Are you suggesting, Mr. Falen, that if the people of Idaho want to know about decisions made by elected officials, they (each of them) should submit a public records request to Boise.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Then, after a couple months of "dancing" with the office to which the request was sent, maybe . . . just maybe . . . the person who submitted the request . . . might . . . just might . . . know to whom they should resubmit their request.<br><br><div>Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .</div>
