“Yosemite isn’t part of the economy, it is the entire economy." The Chairman of the Mariposa County Board of Supervisors made this statement to Dan Morain of the Sacramento Bee and it was printed in his opinion column on September 15, 2014.
He was, of course, referring to Mariposa County. I guess all you ranchers, storekeepers, business people, taxpayers, employers and anyone else here had better shut down. Apparently you are not contributing to the economy of Mariposa County.
What an insult to us all. I can only hope that you express your distain for this outrageous statement.
I wonder if there are any job openings in Yosemite???
