I too wonder why no one has investigated into PARD's deceptive practices.Victoria Dehlbomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535714825614314988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-1127509262970604962005-09-23T14:01:00.000-07:002005-09-23T14:01:00.000-07:00I think it is pretty obvious PARD has pushed beyon...I think it is pretty obvious PARD has pushed beyond their rights. You need only read Jerry Griebling's letter to the editor in the Sept. 15 Daily News. He was LIED to by PARD and his business was decepively used against Wal-Mart. I'm still waiting for the Daily News to investigate that story. I have heard many stories about students that were tricked into signing PARD's petition as well.<BR/><BR/>In any case, we need to speak up publicly. When I was interviewed by a reporter with KLEW-TV, she said, "Gosh, I thought everyone in Pullman was against Wal-Mart." We can't afford that perception to get out to other prospective businesses that are thinking about locating in Pullman.Tom Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080804561058476349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-1127506824848785242005-09-23T13:20:00.000-07:002005-09-23T13:20:00.000-07:00SHW #1, that's because Safeway is a UNION shop.

That's also why Safeway allowed PARD to gather petition signatures there. Safeway could build a nuclear reactor in their parking lot and PARD wouldn’t' complain.Tom Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080804561058476349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-1127505847567735192005-09-23T13:04:00.000-07:002005-09-23T13:04:00.000-07:00I read they will have the ability to add a gas sta...I read they will have the ability to add a gas station at a later date if they want to based upon approval. However, I was wondering...is Safeway putting in a gas station? If so, I wonder why PARD isn't all over that?!Victoria Dehlbomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535714825614314988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-1127504399519190922005-09-23T12:39:00.000-07:002005-09-23T12:39:00.000-07:00We sure need the tax $$ for the city & county coff...We sure need the tax $$ for the city & county cofferes.

It's normal. Most of them are obvious and more reminders than "restrictions"<BR/><BR/>I think it's importnat for us to remain on the high road. If they want to move within their rights, fine. If they push beyound, that is when we need to speak up.<BR/><BR/>At this point, all city code, ordinances and plans are clear. mark has done a nice job of over emphasising the obvious as a way to make sure there is nothing missed, but it's moving forward.<BR/><BR/>18 months from now, we'll all be taking advantage of the increased commercial benefits of this and other developments in that area.WSUStretchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072671786857585810noreply@blogger.com
