I've been reading the discussion on the Stone/Gurban dustup with trepidation. I certainly agree that if the incident occurred just as Stone reported it, then Gurban deserves at least a severe reprimand by the Park Board, and perhaps should be fired. (By the way, do the park police report to Gurban? If so, it is somewhat hard to blame the cops, but would be one more black mark on Gurban.)
But I hate to jump on the bandwagon when I haven't heard a peep explaining Gurban's side of what happened. Gurban doesn't get a free pass on the incident just by ignoring it, but so far I've only seen discussion on this List, and that only for the last few days. So I don't know that it's reasonable that Gurban should have responded publicly by this point. How public is this information? I haven't seen anything in the Strib - anything coming soon Steve Brandt? Can it be added to the Park Board agenda? Will this get covered in the Southwest Journal, even though Pearl Park is east of 35W? Anywhere else? Mark V Anderson Bancroft REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
