I am amazed by the comments of Chris Johnson and the vote by Commissioner Vivian Mason. John Gurban cannot be Park Superintendent because he does not have a Masters Degree? John Gurban was one of three finalists. He seems to have a lot of experience with Minnesota park systems.
But here we go again. Mr. Gurban's credentials are being attacked. Elected officials are being warned that they will be "pay dearly for the rest of their public lives" because of one vote. Does all this personal, professional attacks sound familiar? The attacks remind me of this year's political ads. State anything you want. Attack, Attack, Attack. (Remember all the attacks on Kerry's war career). We need a reasonable discussion of Park Superintendent not personal and professional attacks. Having a Masters degree is not the only criteria for selection of an administrator. In fact, the whole discussion sounds elitist to me. Many good administrators have only a Bachelors degree. I have even known good leaders who have less than a college degree. Tony Scallon Ed.S. University of Minnesota REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
