Welcome to my newsletter! This page, which will be updated regularly, will keep you current with the work
I am doing on your behalf. I hope you will find it informative.
This first newsletter will spotlight comments I made at my swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday, January 4, 2005.
It was a seminal event in my personal and professional life and underlined my commitment to you as my
constituents.
The ceremony took place in the Board of Supervisors' Chambers at our beautiful Marin County Civic Center.
My wife, Carol Misseldine, held two books on which I took the oath: one was the same Bible used for my
great Grandfather's swearing-in to the State Assembly in 1895 and the second was Marty Griffin's book,
Saving the Marin and Sonoma Coast. Annette Rose, my predecessor as Supervisor for southern Marin,
administered the oath of office. The Marin Men's Chorus sang two wonderful tunes at the event.
The following are the comments I made to those assembled:
"If I am successful over the next decade in working with this already incredible Board of Supervisors,
Marin County will be a model for sustainability. This will involve work on all three "E's" that comprise
the real concept of sustainability.
