(Via E-mail)
Dear Mr. Cannon,
I’m writing today for an accessible copy of MCB’s FY 2011 Operating Budget
(also see unanswered request for similar information after my signature
line). Now, you in your objectives promised this information to
Commissioners and the public quarterly in your objectives for last year. You
did not honor that obligation whatsoever. There are no excuses for not
having this information ready and at hand and published on the MCB web site
as the Fiscal Year closed September 30, 2011 months ago. Bills supposedly
were paid and all that.
Frankly, it is more than a sign of a grossly incompetent manager to not have
ready access to this information and it certainly is a slap in the face and
a black eye to the Snyder Administration as one of his own agencies cannot
seem to meet basic transparency guidelines regarding this simple information
re: his “dashboard” program.
Regardless send it out please and please have it posted prominently on MCB’s
web site.
You know my accessible format by now.
Sincerely,
Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.

Dear Mr. Cannon,
I’m writing today to request in accessible format the MCB Operating Budget
through the Third Quarter of this current fiscal year as you and the agency
have promised in public records to commissioners, and thus to members of the
public too…I mean don’t forget we citizens of this state and country please
including those of us with disabilities. I’m also requesting that MCB in the
spirit of Governor Snyder’s “dashboard” principle of transparency post this
uniformly, affirmatively and in a timely and accessible manner to its own
web site.
Regardless, I’m requesting same as a Word attachment to my e-mail address
listed above.
The people of this state including me have the right to know how MCB’s money
is spent.
Oh, and a further thought here: I’d like to see a complete line item break
down of precisely how much MCB has expended to date this fiscal year on
legal expenses including but not limited to the settlements of the Robin
Hill v. Michigan Commission for the Blind case; the Dave Robinson
settlement; and the Christine Boone case.
In other words how much is MCB losing in state and federal funds relative to
these cases including any expenditure to the Michigan Attorney General for
defending these cases and others in the first place?
I thank you in advance for your prompt and compliant response to this
inquiry.
Sincerely,
Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.
