Greg,
Yes, you are right. The issue I am raising is one of legitimacy and
the ability to speak for others. I would prefer to speak for myself
and I get uncomfortable when others presume to speak on my behalf. Nor
do I assume that I can speak for others unless I am specifically
authorized by them to do so. For example, I do not assume
that I can speak for my wife.
If it is any comfort to you, I am raising the same question with the M-L
Economic Development Commission. As a member, I do not feel
comfortable speaking on behalf of "Moscow Residents." No one elected
me for anything. I can speak for myself and that is where it ends for
me. Decision made by the Commission needs to brougth to the City
council and citizens for clarification, discussion, and a decision in
my view.
