Re: Mullis Center | Letter

In response to the October 13 letter from Ms. Weisbrod regarding the Mullis Center and more generally in response to everything that has come out of the “official” Mullis Center communicator Mr. Shubert, if there is “nothing wrong” with the corporate behavior of the Senior Services Center of San Juan County (“SSCSJC” aka “Mullis Center”), why are they continuously put in their place by a Superior Court Judge?
They were ordered to “undo” the theft of Senior voting rights that they had done by amending by-laws in 2019 and were ordered to hold elections for the entire 15-member Mullis board in October. Now the Court has forced the cancellation and rescheduling of the election because they arbitrarily excluded from the ballot people that they did not like. Contrary to Weisbrod’s lament of no public interest in the Mullis board, a full slate 37 candidates will now be running for election in November.
Maybe the SSCSJC and Mullis boards were just a little confused, or don’t understand corporations and management. Shubert should know though, with his wealth of nonprofits experience. But after the blatant theft of Senior voting rights, rigging of elections, and the shroud pulled over a $500,000 financial “misstatement” I wonder: what more is there to hide?
I am not persuaded by the misdirection canards being trotted out by Mullis insiders. There are serious issues afoot, and a fair election is the best way to introduce long-overdue sunlight into the inner workings of the Mullis Center and SSCSJC.
