> Dear Mr. Warren:
>
>    I have been requested by Mr. Joe Harcz to send all Commission
> Correspondence that has been sent between the Commission Board members
> and Director Cannon since December 8, to the present, to him under
> Freedom of Information. I am including his letter, sent to the board
> members below mine. He has repeatedly asked Director Cannon for this
> information, but it has not been sent. Please advise me immediately
> about whether I should send all of this information. I do not want to
> start a precedent that will cause difficulty for future Board members.
>    Mr. Cannon is being paid to do this, but is not carrying out this
> responsibility. The Commission Board consists of volunteers. This
> brings me to the other urgent question that causes me to seek your
> immediate advice. Compiling all of the documentation sent between a
> Commission Board, and the Director to send out to consumers should be
> done by a separate Secretary that is employed by and for the
> Commission Board, but does not work for the Commission for the Blind
> as an agency. Under public law, the Commission Board is supposed to
> have a separate Secretary to handle Minutes, correspondence, Agendas,
> and other clerical duties. Since we do not have this Secretary, and
> the Director is not fulfilling his responsibilities to send out
> information in a timely manner, what recourse and responsibility do we
> have as Commission Board members. Thank you for your immediate
> response to these vitally important matters.
>
> Sincerely,
>
> Larry Posont, Commission for the Blind Board Member
>                  The primary goal of the Commission for the Blind is the
> gainful employment of Michigan's blind citizens. This is my primary
> goal as a Commissioner.
