(candidate for 2002 Latah County Commissioner, district 1) |

1. Do you support the completion of the Latah Trail? |
|
|
It's hard to support the latah trail because of the
petition that was put in record by the latah county
commissioners, for the latah trail. There were only 14
votes from dist. 1 that were on the petition!
I dont think that the petition was evenly divided
throughout latah county. For the lack of signatures in
my dist., 1, it seems like there is a very large
conflict of interest in the present latah county
commisioner. The latah trail was not put through
planning and zoning, therefore, I think they violated
the property owners rights.
For the problems that latah county has, I think we
should be spending latah county taxpayer's money to
better use.

2. What is the county's appropriate role at the Latah Health Center? |
|
|
The Health Center is latah county taxpayer's
property, therefore, all three county commisioners
should be on the board of the latah county health
services. The contract with latah county health
services does not have a maintenance agreement in the
contract. Therefore, there is no one party responsible
for the upkeep of the building, and the grounds. It is
a shame that the present latah county commisioners,
over the last eight years, have let the place fall
into disrepair and have spent the money elsewhere. |

3. How can the county solve the problem of the shortage of space for county
|
|
|
The latah county courthouse does not have any room
for expansion. The offices of auditor, taxcollector,
recorders office, planning and zoning need to be moved
to a bigger, and more convenient site. Buying
residential property for parking, in Moscow, is
absolutely insane! Sharing government space with other
local government is a slap in the face to the latah
county taxpayer. They deserve better, because they
have paid for it!

4. Should Moscow's area of impact be expanded or contracted? What is the best way to balance preserving farmland with the demand for rural homesites?
|
|
|
4.Every city in latah county has an impact area. This
is controlled by the city council, and their city
planning and zoning. Then, and only then, do the
county commisioners review their expansion or
contraction of the impact area. I would have an open
mind and completely review the facts for all the
people.

5. Is it important to you to connect with voters (answer questions and receive input) via email? Do you plan to subscribe to Moscow Vision 2020 if elected? Do you plan to post messages to Moscow Vision 2020 if elected?
|
|
|
I believe that it is imperative to maintain a
positive connection with the people that you work for.
That is why I, if elected as county commisioner of
dist. one, will make voter concerns my top priority.
Without them, there is no county commisioner! I will
definitely subscribe to Moscow Vision 2020, if
elected.
However, I might need to borrow a couple of bucks out
of the latah county trail fund...

6. What book(s) are you now reading? |
|
|
The Holy Bible. Always have, always will.
Clearwater Rurallite. Some Jack Kerouac, and some J.D.
Salinger.
