It is understandable why the Public is reluctant to show interest in County Government or to offer opinions on subjects pertinent to the use of County Funds. Current action by Supervisor Kevin Cann on an agenda item verifys the insensitivity and lack of respect Supervisor Cann affords his constituents.

SST-LTRSubject referred to are the E-mails sent by both Ruth Catalan and myself regarding Supervisor Canns agenda item for discussion on giving the EDC, (Economic Development Corp.) $50,000 of County Funds. Our E-mails were sent to the entire Board questioning use of the money, Business plan, etc. As a result of reasonable inquiry, Supervisor Cann sent an E-mail to the entire Mariposa County Business Community which attempted to discredit both of us with an appeal for support of his action. The E-mail stated: "You are the folks who have invested your time and fortune in our Business Community. As expected the BOS has received two negative comments from Ruth Sellers and Ruth Catalan. I expect that since they are generally sure that everything I propose is bad. If you believe this might be a good investment of some seed money please either comment to the BOS or come to the meeting tomorrow.I expect it will be discussed around 11 A.M. Kevin Cann.

It has been weeks since I last questioned any activity by the Board and I definitely do not focus on Supervisor Cann's subjects! Having attended the weekly Board meetings for the past twenty years and continuing to serve on two County Boards, I find it appalling and highly insulting to be singled out, by the Supervisor who is supposed to represent me, to the entire community in such a demeaning manner. If in fact Supervisor Cann has given second thought to his ill conceived message, let us hope he is "Man-enough" to offer a Public Apology to both Ruth and to myself. Such action is certainly in order.

Mariposa County District 4 Supervisor Kevin Cann's Public Record Email to the Community:

Subject: RE: Board of Supervisors Item tomorrow 3/3. (apx. 11 AM)

Hi Everyone: As I discussed briefly at our last MCBA meeting I have an item on tomorrow's BOS agenda (copy below) to give the EDC $50,000 to pursue their mission of bringing sustainable economic development to our area. In the past they have produced an excellent Economic Vitality Strategy and Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy listing appropriate, job producing initiatives for Mariposa. Without a dime from the county they have essentially hit the wall in ability to move any projects forward. Local economic development clearly doesn't happen without local investment and support (if it does you get Oakhurst).   You are the folks who have invested your time and fortune in our business community. As expected the BOS has received two negative comments from Ruth Sellers and Ruth Catalan. I expect that since they are generally sure that everything I propose is bad. If you believe this might be a good investment of some seed money please either comment to the BOS or come to the meeting tomorrow. I expect it will be discussed around 11 AM.

Thanks for your commitment to this community.

Kevin Cann
