Re: Moscow/Pullman gas prices

You are correct about how we need to look at reducing our consumption of
oil.  I take it, then, your agency will be coming out as being opposed to
I695.  While it is on the Washington Ballot, it will have a tremendous
impact on the region as a whole.  Some modes of Public Transportation will
be impacted very negatively.  Pullman Transit. Whitman County COAST, even
the Wheatland Express Commuter between the two schools.   This is to say
nothing about alternative modes of transportation.  If I695 was in effect
two years ago, the Chipman Trail would not have been possible.

Hope you don't mind me venting some tonight.
