[MissoulaGov] Parking Kiosks

Brent,  no offense intended.  The "you" in the statement was a universal 
"you", not a specific one directed at "you" personally. 

I very much care about how the downtown develops, I rarely if ever 
respond to this list, and I didn't see anyone from the peanut gallery 
offering opinions, so I spoke out loud and clear. 

My apology if anyone was offended.  I'll drop out.
