I, too, welcome Tom Trail's efforts to keep us in touch with what's going
on in Boise through Vision2020. The issues he reports on concern all of
us. The folks who use this forum are fully capable of "considering the
source" as needed. Tom's willingness to share his perspective and also be
open to input via this forum and regular e-mail speak well for his
responsiveness as a legislator. The cost of this type of communication is
minimal, especially as compared to Ms. Chenoweth's much less informative
and one way form of communication. Keep it coming, Tom!!!!!!
