Yes
>From the UC Review:
"According to Walker, the director of the UCD, Lewis Wendell, 'said he didn't
know anything about it,' and that the order to set up the rally had come from
John Fenton"...
"When this reporter attempted to contact Wendell, the UCD's assistant said that
all media contacts have to go through UCD spokesperson, Lori Klein
Brennan...Brenan declined to go into detail but instead sent over a copy of the
UCD's official statement.
In it, Wendell states that" (statement follows)
Mr. Sanderson, any honorable organization would release the actual details of
the policy at this point. For Wendell Lewis to point at Mr. Fenton and offer
nothing more than "he didn't know anything" is unacceptable. Does Wendell know
anything about this program/policy that UCD has been implementing in this
community ?
There is either a written policy or there is not.
Remember, the released statement shows Mr. Fenton is guilty until proven
innocent while UCD plays the delay game to develop the spin and legal strategy.
For us to have one shred of respect for Wendell Lewis and the UCD board, they
must immediately release the details of their written protocol or policy for
the use of these "community service prisoners."
If they do not do this, it confirms what others have said about UCD. Forget
about the wortheless "UCD investigation." With this response, the existing
policy must be released immediately. In fact, the details should have been
transparently released long ago before these prisoners were dumped onto our
streets.
Either way, UCD must be stopped from demanding governmental authority while it
simultaneously demands complete secrecy. We should have been offered the full
written policy the day after the Daily News story. This is not how a
responsible publicly accountable organization shares information with the
community it serves.

Glenn-can you clarify what part of this post consists of information from
UCD?
Can you quote accurately, or provide links to the statements you are writing
about?

Subject: [UC] The UCD answer
I'm catching up on the developments.
I've worked with John Fenton in the past and he is the only UCD leader I
would trust. It is so obvious to me that he is the fall guy. UCD's answer
really completes the outrage. I hope John stands up and tells the actual story
behind this policy. I really hope this will bring the end to UCD
UCD is an organization that focuses on spin. In their official statement and
calls, Mr. Lewis Wendell claims that he "knew nothing" about the implementation
of this punishment policy.
What ???????
