Rue Furch did not make this up, and Peter Matson was not aware of this. Too bad he did not contact her before making the allegation that her flyer, "appears to [contain] (...) misrepresentations."
And too bad, Mary, that you did not do any double checking before you copied the false allegation.
I think people will not support the negative campaign Rue Furch is running. I just got this e-mail from a friend.
The chairman of the Sonoma land trust Peter Mattson just withdrew his support from Rue for her "misrepresentations". We need honest leaders that have morals what can work with people and not lie and make up storys.

Dear Rue:
As chairman of The Sonoma Land Trust, I was troubled while reading your green paper mailer sent this week "To all my friends in Northwestern Sonoma County". Your reference to Gualala Redwoods and its purported plan to clear-cut near Jenner for a property development and an air strip is either a gross distortion or needs much more clarification.
Snip: ". . . Gualala Redwoods, which is next in line to clear slopes near Jenner for more luxury homes, a golf course, and a private air strip."
As you know, the Sonoma Land Trust has spent that last four years arranging the acquisition of Jenner Headlands, 5630 acres above and around Jenner,
from Dr. Ollie Edmonds, owner of Gualala Redwoods. During this time, there has been no threat of such an adjacent development.
Further, Gualala Redwoods has been a reasonably good steward of its properties, many of which I have visited.
I regret my endorsement of your candidacy for 5th District Supervisor due to what appears to be this misrepresentation of the above referenced Gualala Redwoods property.
Sincerely,
Peter Mattson
Chairman
Sonoma Land Trust </P>

CORRECTION: Peter Mattson has NOT withdrawn his support of Rue. Here's a direct quote, reported in today's Press Democrat: "I still support her, albeit with less enthusiasm." Rue has said that any dispute between her and Mattson has concluded with an agreement to disagree. Does anyone of us agree completely on every single issue with any candidate running for any office in this election? Of course not, but that doesn't mean that we're voting for those candidates' opponents. Count on it: Mattson will NOT be throwing his support behind Rue's opponent.
