    Now everyone can go back to not knowing that there even was a parks board.

    I HATED her politics, but come on – it’s a committee that decides how to maintain and keep our parks pretty. I don’t really see how a person’s political leanings should even factor into the job.

    “the controversial Minuteman militia leader”

    Bvllshtt. She was no leader, simply a local member of a private national organization protesting that existing laws be enforced. A constitutional right.

    And the only controversy is the convoluted bigotry drummed up by racist demagogues & their myrmidons from ‘the race’. Perverse irony.

    Thanks for contributing to the hyperbole. & sensationalism.

    History will not reflect well on the Star’s role in this. They were guilty of alot of “truthiness”.

    If you ever need to write a resignation letter that really burns bridges, Frances Semler’s letter is an excellent example of how to do it.

    That thing is a masterful blend of bitterness and looniness.
