[Vision2020] "Commissioners Adjust Tax Exemptions for Moscow Church "

[Don Coombs]

We shouldn't be having this discussion out in public. We shouldn't be 
allowing people in other states and other parts of this state to 
conclude that it MAY be okay, in backward Latah County, for somebody in 
public office to vote on issues where he has a conflict of interest.

OF COURSE Paul Kimmell should have abstained from voting on tax 
decisions affecting his church.

OF COURSE Paul Kimmell should not have become executive secretary of the 
Chamber of Commerce after being elected a county commissioner.

If we use a lot of words and time to discuss it, we end up showing all 
positions as tenable, just different. Some positions are not tenable; it 
is a slamdunk that in the two situations mentioned above, Paul Kimmell 
is WRONG.
