Annie Young has it right. She has shown true leadership in taking on the
folks who want to continue to divide the board between good and bad. We
want a Park Board that works together and seeks consensus, as often as
possible. With the new and returning members I am optimistic that this is
exactly what will occur. For those of you who want to perpetuate
divisiveness find some other organization to focus on. Let's give everyone
the benefit of the doubt for now and see what happens, before casting your
dispersions.

Gee, not bad rhetoric for a former Park Board Commissioner who allowed
himself to be appointed to the redistricting committee right after leaving
the Park Board in 2001--DESPITE the rule that no one is supposed to work on
redistricting until 2 years have passed since leaving office. And then
managed to redistrict in such a way that good buddy and former classmate Bob
Fine wouldn't have to face Tracy Nordstrom again after she almost defeated
him in 2001. Of course, that was probably just a coincidence.
I don't know how Bob is going to manage in 2009 with no one to redistrict
for him.
I would like nothing more than that this close election wakes up those who
seem bent on operating without regard for stewardship or public input and
that they get back to taking their own minutes and following their own
processes.
As for "those of you who want to perpetuate divisiveness", I sure hope Bob
Fine, Walt Dziedzic, Jon Olson and Carol Kummer will take that message to
heart. I know you didn't mean the Park Reform folks because we are the ones
who have been trying for 2 years now to end the divisiveness on the board.
