All Bark, No Bite?

Unconfirmed reports from the Whitman County Courthouse state that no appeal of the SEPA MDNS for the Hawkins Companies development was filed by anyone today before the deadline, including the Moscow City Council.

I repeat this is unconfirmed. The appeal may have been filed some other way.

If this turns out to be true, however, then the Moscow City Council may not be as fanatical as they appear to be on the surface. A Moscow appeal of the corridor development would lead to tremendous (and expensive) legal challenges and a "border war" between Whitman County and Moscow.

The more I think about it the more I wanted Moscow to sue. Maybe that would get the development next to Pullman rather than next to Moscow. And all those cars going to Lowe's can stop at our gas stations and our SUPER WAL MART!
