Arnold inquires:
"The average household income in Latah is $30,000 a year. Can you name 2, or
just 15%, of the over 30 elected officials (not counting precinct chairs) in
all of Latah that has a household income below that amount? Please let us
know."
I have absolutely no idea, Arnold. Nor do I care to know. It is simply
none of my business.
I vote for people that reflect and support my priorities, whether it be
ensuring neighborhood safety, support for police unions, or simply enforcing
zoning codes.
I never consider a candidate's financial worth when I mark my ballot.
And you?
Seeya round town, Moscow.

students are not very active in local elections (thank goodness!)."

Tom,
The average household income in Latah is $30,000 a year. Can you name 2, or
just 15%, of the over 30 elected officials (not counting precinct chairs) in
all of Latah that has a household income below that amount? Please let us
know.
Best,
Donovan

Ha haha. None of the city council members I know are particularly wealthy
and most are far from it. The last school board election for where Dan and
I live had two candidates that aren't rich. One of them lives across the
street from me and has rented the house for 4 yrs. His signs were bought by
Dr. Weitz. A candidate wears several hats, one is a fund raiser hat.

The average person cannot participate."
I'll be sure to let my wife know that by my participation in the
electoral process I'm above average, and we're evidently wealthy!
She'll be tickled.
