Subject:James Papp
Dear Council Members,
No, please, do not fire Mr. James Papp!
The rationale presented by Council Members Pease and Christianson is just an excuse for ridding the San Luis Obispo
Cultural Committee and the community of a qualified chairman who understands the importance of preserving this
city’s unique historical architecture and culture - that’s why Mr. Papp was appointed in the first place.
Mr.Papp’s voice is just what we need when faced with developers who have little understanding or regard for our
historically significant and unique community. His expressions of frustration, “bizarre, shocking, dangerous and nuts,”
are not offensive in any manner. Public meetings are just where disagreements should be expressed, sometimes
resulting in frustration and sometimes anger, when there is the sense no one is listening, minds are already set - it’s
frustrating! Again, “bizarre, shocking, dangerous and nuts” is not crossing a line!
Mr. Papp’s contributions, acknowledged by Council Member Pease as being “extremely knowledgeable and a great
resource for the community,” are every reason for dismissing this disgraceful ploy to remove a voice of dissent and
integrity where it is badly needed.
Do not fire Mr. Papp!
Dawnna McDougall
