Linda Pall responds to my Letter to the Editor in the Moscow-Pullman Daily News.
In response to Dale Courtney’s letter (Nov. 2) saying that I failed to allow Preston Evans, the Logos student body president, to continue to testify at a Board of Adjustment hearing, I urge you to view the actual hearing. Here’s the video: goo.gl/Lf76C9 on Courtney’s own site. View it and make your own judgment. The student body president needed to stick to the point of the hearing, which he was having trouble doing. I interrupted him to remind him of the point of the hearing, and then let him finish testifying.

I’m glad she brought this up again.
What she fails to say is that she interrupted no one on the anti-Logos side the entire night. The first speaker, she cut-off at the knees after 30 seconds.
The time limit was set for 3 minutes per speaker. If you were for Logos School, she held you to it. If you were against Logos School, she let you talk for 6+ minutes.
Please, compare these two videos for yourselves to see the “fairness” of Linda Pall.
Linda Pall Shuts Down the Logos Student Body President
At the Conditional Use Hearing on 2 Aug 2016, Linda Pall shut down the Logos Student Body President, Preston Evans, after just 30 seconds. There was an audible gasp from the crowd. I could tell immediately, by the way that she handled him, how she was going to vote for the entire evening.
