I am proud to announce that I am a candidate for the North Latah County
Highway District Sub-District 1 Commissioner seat.
The election will be held on Tuesday, August 1. The locations and hours of
voting have not been revealed by the Highway District yet. State law
requires that they publish the places and times of voting on July 19; don't
expect that information before then.
You Moscow Vision 20/20 participants are specially invited to a "meet the
candidate" and "discuss the issues" PARTY at my house, 1420 Ridge Road, on
Thursday, July 13, from 6 - 8 PM. ^^^^^
This news should be of particular interest to Moscow Vision 20/20
participants. There is a very strong connection between LAND USE and
TRANSPORTATION. The North Latah County Highway District is _the_ government
entity that is responsible for transportation in most of Latah County,
including the rural areas surrounding Moscow. So, if you are concerned
about LAND USE in Latah County then it is importatant to be talking with the
TRANSPORTATION decision makers - the Highway District.
Unfortunately, most people don't even know of the existance of the NLCHD,
let alone work with it to involve public participation in the decision
making process.
Communication and public participation, and planning are strong elements of
my campaign platform. I will introduce these ideas to the Highway District.
YOUR SUPPORT IS CRUCIAL! These elections are traditionally have low
turnout. So, your vote is very important.
Following is the text of my campaign flyer. Your first INTERNET campaign
junk mail!
Thanks,
Fritz Knorr

the county roads and bridges within the district. The
district commissioners are the stewards of our public

for our transportation needs in the future.
