None of 1 through 5 matter if the event was indeed a Knox rally. If
it was, they shouldn't have been working there at all, no matter what
they were doing. Unfortunately, we'll never know since it's the
students' word against Jannie Blackell's and we all know where that
train is going.
As far as what they were asked to do, they were asked to set
"everything" up and the setup included Knox for Mayor posters. How
much more clear can it be? It doesn't matter what they were asked to
do with them (unless it was to leave them alone) or if they refused.
What matters to me is that they were even asked.
I think this is a really minor incident and no one should lose their
job over it. On the other hand, the people involved might want to
think twice the next time they need to trade favors.

C'mon folks, as much as you like to engage on this topic, the list
serve is not conducting an investigation, much less an evidentiary
hearing. This (not S's post, but the whole discussion) is Exhibit
A on the benefits of confronting witnesses and cross examination.

We have no way so far of verifying his statements. I really am unsure
what he means when he says :
“included in the setup were Knox for Mayor posters”.
Can you ask him?
Is he referring to:
They were asked to carry posters and campaign materials to the park?
They were asked to hang the posters and he refused?
They were asked to pass out flyers to people in the park?
They were asked to sit at a table and say “Vote for Knox”?

participated in promoting or opposing a candidate in any way.

To attempt to sell or popularize by advertising or publicity

The original article in the Daily News says this:"Included in the
setup were "Knox for Mayor" posters, which made Walker think this
was unusual community service indeed."
