Bill,

One juicy detail that I forgot to mention:

Shelley Bennett (formerly of the LEDC) spoke.  She said that when looking 
for a location, and the issue of the Troy Highway area came up, she was 
quite enthusiastic, because her family had just bought the mall across the 
street, and what a great selling point that would be for filling the mall 
vacancies.

I was astounded that she was speaking in public about how her influence 
over a decision involving public funds could result in substantial 
financial gain for her family.  She must have felt really comfortable with 
her audience.

According to the agenda, the man in charge of questions and answers was 
Rich Levengood, Latah Economic Development Council, Alturas Outsider 
Extraordinaire.  Question & Answer period did spill over about an extra 15 
minutes, although Ken Medlin took up most of that.  Aside from Ken's 
questions/comments, there was only one other written question that was 
submitted.
