I'll dump my two feet X 10,000 sq feet of snow there for free..

We have known that was the real reason for not allowing development in the corridor, but it has actually now been verbalized!<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>"Lamar said he could not, in good conscience, vote in favor of the agreement. In addition to groundwater concerns, Lamar has maintained since being appointed to the council last year that he's against retail development in the corridor. He wants the eight-mile stretch to remain a transportation corridor only between the two university communities."<BR/><BR/>Of course not, we are only in favor of development right up to the border of the state, but not into Whitman County, as that would provide an outlet for Whitman County to get a piece of the pie... see above.Scottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587071399974432502noreply@blogger.com
