Re: Official Board Correspondences and Public Record

 

Dear Commissioners and Citizens and Advocates,

 

I, Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr. have submitted many items as so-called official board correspondence to this board now and in the past. Now, the new by-laws require

that such are Reade into the record. I, personally realize that this board is trying to remedy issues of the past as am I in these regards. Regardless,

though while anything I’ve sent to this commission and past correspondences are available under FOIA and are a part of the public record in effect and

affect and in fact and deed I waive personally the notion that each and every so-called “official board correspondence” is read in the record in the interest

of brevity. Though I do demand that each and every entry so labeled is entered into the official public record and as a part of both required “draft minutes”

and official final meeting minutes under the Michigan Open Meetings Act and  responsibilities and obligations under the Michigan FOIA, the ADA, Section

504 and indeed the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title I as amended. Moreover, these things are easily accomplished as such so-called “official board correspondences”

are included as simple addendums  to  minutes like other organizations routinely do, but which MCB has never done and can’t even get motions and

votes straight in my experience…But I do digress over past wrongs, violations of law, equity and proprietary  affairsand/or, even Roberts Rules of Order guidelines,here.

 

Now, this is an appeal to my brothers and sisters in the movement…

 

There is no doubt that Patrick D. Cannon and his minions has been a reckless and divisive force in our community and there is no doubt that he has violated

civil rights and violated his position; manipulated past boards of MCB, and done all sorts of frankly illegal and pretty nasty things to blind folks here

in Michigan. I’ve documented many offenses over years and have suffered from him and his minions the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune as Hamlet

put it myself.

 

Now, I’ll say this and I’ll say this for the record:

 

“Cannon will finally have his open and objective review/evaluation conducted by the MCB Board on this Friday. I enencourage one and all to allow for this

public proceeding to take place without comment from the audience.

 

Personally, I’m putting duct tape over my lips so I won’t interject.

 

Colleagues, this man is to be adjudged about his performance for the first time by un-conflicted and impartial advocates of the blind.

 

Let the chits fall where they may.

 

I, not being one good at restraint in the pursuit of justice and against the capricious flames of deceit, infamy and ignoble behavior by this public

Official two urge restraint by one and all during the meeting.

 

Let Mr. Cannon “hoist himself with his own petard”…

 

In other words he will be blown up, metaphorically speaking with his own bomb which by the way is what “petard” and not “retard” means.

 

But, I digress….

 

My point or suggestion is for one and all to let the evaluation of Cannon to be engaged in the public light of day without interruption.

 

This is a personal appeal. I am no officer with force of anything to direct anyone to do so. I wouldn’t be inclined to tell folks to do this or that as

a mandate anyway.

 

That is not me, but I will suggest and again, only suggest that we let this public evaluation play out as it does without interuption from the public audience.

 

Sincerely,

 

Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.
