Corridor quid-pro-quo

["bill london" <bill_london@hotmail.com>]

The saga of the Corridor development plan continues, after 150 people showed 
up last night for the Whitman County Planning Commission hearing on their 
development plan.

And for Moscow residents, a new wrinkle recently surfaced.  In an article 
published in the May 19 Lewiston Tribune, Moscow Mayor Comstock noted that 
he thought Moscow would benefit from some kind of quid-pro-quo deal with 
Whitman County.  Moscow would bankroll this sprawl plan by providing water 
and sewage from the city for businesses on the Corridor and Whitman County 
would let Moscow drill a well in Washington where the aquifer is deeper.

Offering public services to the new Corridor businesses would certainly 
facilitate their development.  But, is that what Moscow should be doing?
