Dear Rotary Member:
Thank you again for the opportunity to speak to the Rotarians on June 5, 2019. I appreciated being able to represent my organization, CCL, and describe HR 763, which we support, to your membership.
On June 10th, I received a link to the Harpoon meeting notes that were posted on the Ann Arbor Rotary club website. Reading these minutes submitted by Ed Hoffman, June 9, 2019, I noted a number of important factual errors, which collectively, critically misrepresent the content of my remarks and details of HR 763. I am concerned that anyone who reads the minutes will come away with a very inaccurate understanding of the legislation I described. These inaccuracies, in combination with the report’s negative tone, combine to prevent the bill and the details I presented from receiving a fair hearing.
My mission is to spread the word about a possible nonpartisan solution to the climate crisis and how this solution works, and thus I came to present it. It would be deeply troubling to me to allow this set of misunderstandings about the bill go uncorrected, particularly as they are posted on the internet where those who were not present to hear my remarks will view it. I would be most grateful if we could work together to address the matter of the errors I have listed below.
Thank you,
Mary Garton garton@comcast.net
