<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello
all-</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was not able to attend this last wmm due to other
commitments so I apologize for putting this in email form. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At two recent WMMs I asked Clatsop County
Commisioner Bob Mushen to speak to what the *project* is, that he
refers to in his election flyers as a $75,000 project he brought to Cannon
Beach. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Both times he stated he was not at liberty to
discuss the issue. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Below I have attached copies of the further
discussion that took place via email. I attach these both to clarify my
position and inform the rest of the group of the conversation as it has
developed. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Glad to be able to have this discussion round table
to have this type of open conversation. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Bob,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think you mis-understand my question, as it was
not a criticism. And as I am not running for public office I am not
motivated by "how my question makes me look". </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I stated, if you have brought a $75,000 project
to Cannon Beach, the citizens of Cannon Beach have a right to know what this
project is. The statement that you have brought *a project* to Cannon
Beach is meaningless, and more over worrisome if while details are *being worked
out* the community is not able to be informed and *the project* cannot be
named. If you have brought a $75,000 project to Cannon Beach, that is
beneficial and complimentary to the atmosphere and spirit of Cannon Beach I
applaud you, for this accomplishment. Even so the citizens deserve the
opportunity to be informed. If it is something that *can not be spoken
about*, then it should not be spoken about or referenced in political campaign
material. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The manner in which you are presenting the
*project* reeks of underhanded back room political posturing. I was hoping
to provide you with the opportunity to clear the air. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All my question was asking for
is transparency by our elected and appointed officials in all matters
concerning our communities. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for all that you have been able to
accomplish to this point, and those things you have helped to set in motion to
benefit our communities in Clatsop County.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Hi, Kathy: I
understand your position. It was not my intent to posture or be underhanded, but
I think I deserve some credit for the effort. The problem is how to announce the
effort with the details being in process. It will be a good thing, I promise.
Thank you for asking for transparency; I am in full favor of that and that is
one of the reasons I want to be elected. I hope we can be friends--I respect
your approach and your concern for the
community.<BR><BR>Bob<BR><BR><BR></DIV></FONT>
