Not a Freedom of Information Act Request as This Relates to an MCB Meeting

To: Patrick Cannon
Director, Michigan Commission for the Blind
Via e-mail

Dear Mr. Cannon,

I am writing expressly to get any correspondence between yourself, or any subordinates 
and the law firm representing New Horizons Rehabilitation Services, Inc that you used 
as  your response to Commissioner Schuck in her inquiries related to apparent conflicts of 
interests, or appearances of them related to the fact that East Region Supervisor Gwen 
McNeal serves on New Horizons Board of Trustees and the fact that MCB, Macomb ISD 
and New Horizons was cited for “reversion to vender” in the RSA monitoring report.

Again Ms. Schuck did ask you whether the opinion that this was not a conflict of interest 
came from the Michigan Attorney General’s office or other State of Michigan legal 
sources and you responded that the opinion came from New Horizon’s lawyers.

This is quite clear on the recording of that meeting that has been highly circulated on the 
internet.

Anyway I want those correspondences in accessible format of course as I’m blind as you 
know and you know the format too.

I openly wonder though just who in the heck really runs outfits that are federally funded 
like MCB work for in this strange event. I mean does the New Horizon’s private law firm 
offer legal advice routinely about things that relate to MCB and other State of Michigan 
affairs? By the way what is the name of this law firm and just who in the heck gave you 
the legal advice you reference on the issue?

Perhaps this should go to the State of Michigan Ethics Board?

Again I want those correspondences and again you have some explain to do sir.

Sincerely,

Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.
