Amador County - The Regional Council of Rural Counties, or RCRC, announced Monday that it has selected Senator Dave Cox, who represents the Northeastern part of the state, as one of two recipients for the annual "Patti Mattingly Award" for 2008. The Patti Mattingly Award is given to a policymaker who has demonstrated leadership on rural issues and an understanding of the unique challenges that rural communities face. “It is with much appreciation that RCRC selects Cox for his important work on behalf of rural counties in the State Senate,” said Supervisor Dave Finigan of Del Norte County and Chair of the Regional Council of Rural Counties. He added that Senator Cox’s efforts helped the state’s rural counties meet the challenges of a very difficult 2008 Legislative Session. “As Senator for 12 Northeastern California counties, I was just doing my job,” said Cox. “It is the collaborative effort of rural county supervisors and the professional staff of RCRC Regional Council of Rural Counties that has enabled us to accomplish many things for rural communities.” RCRC’s Patti Mattingly Award was established in memory of former Supervisor Patti Mattingly of Siskiyou County who was remembered for tremendous courage, commitment, and an ability to promote constructive solutions surrounding rural issues. The recipient is selected by the RCRC Board of Directors. Placer County Supervisor Jim Holmes commented, “Senator Cox is a tireless public servant who sets an excellent example for all elected officials. The member counties of RCRC applaud his efforts in Sacramento.” Amador County Supervisor Richard Forster said that, “One of his important efforts was securing the passage of a Senate Bill which provided an exemption to counties under 40,000 in population from experiencing deferrals in state payments to counties to assist with the state’s cash flow crisis. Forster added that without passage of this bill, many rural counties could have faced dire fiscal straits.” Staff Report (This email address is being protected from spambots.
