Dear Visionaries:
I personally don't care what buildings Christ Church, New St. Andrews, or=20
Canon Press own. =A0 The alleged sale of David's (yes, my old time Moscow=20
connections are showing) was the buzz this weekend. Perhaps my questions we=
re not very=20
gracefully expressed but I had no hidden agenda. Actually, my agendas are=20
never hidden. I asked direct questions in order to get direct answers as a=20=
way=20
to acquire direct facts rather than listen to gossip regarding the "current"=
=20
Christ Church conspiracy theory. =20
Tom was exactly right in noting that the tax issue, which was one of the=20
significant concerns of the folks who were discussing this issue, was the ba=
sis=20
for my questions. There is a clear difference in taxes collected in a busin=
ess=20
owned by a church member, and one owned by the church. The impact of that=20
difference is a burden on business owners in Moscow. There are many non-Chr=
ist=20
church members who enjoy the hospitality of Bucer's and it is my sense that=20
that would be the case in other commercial venues as well. The commercial u=
se of=20
that space is not my issue, and certainly not my business. The tax exempt=20
use of that space, may arguably, represent a genuine concern of those who ar=
e=20
impacted by it. =20
I understand that Nate might feel that, given my proclivity for pointing out=
=20
the problems with children boxing, my suspicions about Steve Wilkin's racism=
, =20
etc. etc. that I was just baiting him. =A0 But, I wasn't. =A0 I asked about=20=
the=20
building purchase on Vision 20/20 because many of the folks who were so=20
concerned about the issue are steady readers and it seemed the fastest way t=
o get the=20
straight scoop. =A0 Apparently not.
Take care,
Rose Huskey
