Letter to the Editor~by Bill McManus

I would like to congratulate Larry Cope and his team of professionals at the Tuolumne County Economic Development Authority on their stunning accomplishment regarding the great news that SPI will be retooling and reopening the mill in Tuolumne County. Many public officials use the national economy as the whipping boy for the plight of their counties in these tough economic times. The TCEDA has once again proven them wrong. The addition of some 130 local jobs once again proves that a well structured partnership between local government and the private sector can benefit everyone....


Some months ago, we had Larry Cope speak to a group of interested business leaders here in Calaveras County. The most asked question was, 'Can we do something like this in our county?'. Larry's response was clear, concise, and consistent. 'Only if you have the involvement of county government' was Larry's advice.

Merita Callaway referred to the meeting as a 'political stunt' and actually tried to prevent Mr. Cope from attending our presentation. She continued later by stating 'Government has no role in business development' (Calaveras Enterprise, April 16th, 2010). Once again, we are witness to government failing the people of Calaveras County, while enlightened counties, like Tuolumne County move forward in a positive way. The people of Tuolumne County should also be thanked for electing public officials who really SERVE the public, instead of 'RULING' the county.

I hope the people of Tuolumne County appreciate the great effort and expense the residents of Calaveras County spend to travel to your county to spend their money.

Former Candidate for Calaveras County Supervisor,
Bill McManus, Hanford Hill, Calaveras County."
