Conservancy board --
confident in Ann Muscat :f
The Catalina Island
Conservancy and its 'Board-of
Directors take very seriously the
important role we play to pro~ect
and conserve the Island's natural
ecosystem, while promoting co-
nomic vitality, sustainability :and
untruths written on Dec. 21, I must
speak my mind.
How can you--the community,
the City Council, the Chamber of
Commerce--continue to support
President and CEO Ann Muscat
after she barely won the confi-
dence vote of her board? (An 8-7
vote is NOT resounding).
Certain facts also lead to the
