More on 95:
The Idaho falls Post Register carried an article on highway 95 in the last 
few days according to a relative of mine.....apparently carrying a quote 
from yours truly...They must have gotten it from the Trib.
After reading the Spokesman's print up I found it interesting that the last 
personal quote ended with some realtor not making a sale...Hmmm.
It also looks like Sandpoint gets a by pass...something I think Moscow needs 
before something as large as a four lane.

I would also like to connect the proposed new highway future to local health 
care...Can Moscow/Pullman handle a massive pile up like the one that 
occurred on I 84 in Oregon last year?..Spokane sure can.

Lots of good little threads to think about were printed in the Spoksman's 
column.
I have found the Idaho Transportation Dept. Web site to be practicaly void 
of our local situation.
Isn't this the information Age?
Without information to decide...we will divide.
