[Vision2020] Christ Church update

[Dan Carscallen]

I'm not saying we put the onus of the work on Rose and Saundra.  They,
like everyone else around, probably have a life of their own to live. 
 
It would seem the higher ups at the county would want to look into this,
just to satisfy some curiosity if nothing else.  Fair is fair, right?
 
not really trying to rabble-rouse,

There's only one Rose, there's only one Saundra, and there are only 24
hours in a day.  The question I would ask is why these two women have
been obliged to do the work of the county in the first place?  Why
didn't the Latah County Prosecutor's Office do its job when Christ
Church first applied for its exemption and make the appropriate counter
argument?  My understanding is that the prosecutor offered absolutely no
objection to the original request for exemption.  Considering the sizes
and locations of the buildings, the nature of the various businesses
therein, and the potential revenue loss to the county, I would have
expected at least a token resistance.
 
Perhaps when the Methodists or the Baptists or the Mormons begin running
million-dollar-a-year vanity presses in their basements, Rose and
Saundra will have a run at them as well.  In the meantime, those
particular churches look clean, and Rose and Saundra have got their
volunteer hands full doing the county's unpaid leg-work.
