<DIV>Hi Kathy,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank your for taking the time to write this and let us know your opinion. However I remain firmly committed to Robert Mushen and to all that he has accomplished since he took over as County Commissioner. I have spoken with Bob at length and have attended the meetings at his home, which have been very informative and educational. In addition I work with Bob on the Board of Directors of the Cannon Beach History Center and Museum. We are lucky to have him on our Board of Directors and we are very luck to have him as our County Commissioner.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am only sorry that my current health situation is making it difficult for me to attend the Wednesday morning meeting and voice my support for Bob and his agenda.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello all-</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Both times he stated he was not at liberty to discuss the issue. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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 size=2 face=Arial>Glad to be able to have this discussion round table to have this type of open conversation. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thank you!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Kathy: I was "touting" the effort, which I did on my own time and which had never been done before.<BR>I secured a pledge for at least $75,000 for a project the city of CB is going to do anyhow. The fact<BR>that all the details are not worked out yet does not in any way detract from my effort and I have<BR>the right to be proud of my accomplishment. Criticizing me for trying does not make you look very good.<BR><BR>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Bob,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>All my question was asking for is transparency by our elected and appointed officials in all matters concerning our communities. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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 size=2 face=Arial><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">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>
