County board member raises concern about letter referencing him and a mental-health board appointment

County Board Member Mister McCarthy asked the board to address a circulated letter that he said included incorrect statements, including a false suggestion that he was tied to a mental-health board appointment.

"There was a letter we need to go back a little bit on this concerning, the appointment for mental health board, for and this is wrong and correct. And then also at the same point, my name was also mentioned in there, which was also false," McCarthy said, asking for the board's attention and potential corrective action.

McCarthy said other county board members had approached him and that he wanted the board to consider whether any further action should be taken to rebut or correct the assertions in the letter. "But when you show proof and when you show any type of rebuttal to that that will show it," McCarthy said.

The transcript records McCarthy raising the matter and seeking board attention; no formal motion, investigation, or remedial action is recorded in the provided meeting record.

Ending: The board did not record any immediate disciplinary or investigatory action in the transcript; McCarthy asked for follow-up and rebuttal where proof could be shown.
