Farr questions planning commission legitimacy

The results of a Palouse Planning Commission survey were released in January. It was the first of its kind since 1995.

The public release came about in part because of a public records request by Jim Farr, a county resident who lives down creek from Palouse. In turn, the planning commission consulted city attorney Stephen Bishop, who advised them to release the document without any redactions.

“Nothing we do is private,” said Palouse Planning Commission chairman Corey Laughary. “It’s public opinion, it’s not anything we wanted to keep hidden. It was intended to be a public document.”
