On Jan 9, 2004, at 8:55 AM, Mark Snyder quoted Doug Grow's column, quoting Chief Finney:

. . I never thought that Minneapolis would be able to find anyone
with his credentials. He's got everything. He just happens to be white. For
him not to have been selected simply because he's white would have been a
gross injustice."

I too was struck by Chief Finney's support of McManus. It's an unusually strong statement. I think RT deserves a great deal of credit for finding and picking a candidate who has this level of respect amongst his peers.


Here's hoping political sour grapes don't get in the way of his confirmation. As I've said before, rejecting McManus hurts the city more than it would gain by hiring a "better" alternative.
