Tony Scallon is right. The negativity of some citizens and
commissioners has done far more to harm the search process than most
will ever know. One can simply look at the decision of last year's
finalists to withdraw at the last moment to see its potential impact.
What's ironic, is it now appears those who complained the most about the
lack of process last year, are trying to control the current process to
ensure the outcome they prefer. (i.e. eliminate Gurban and there is
only one candidate left)
Having had the opportunity to be involved with two Superintendent
searches, with the MPRB and Three Rivers Park District, I can honestly
say I have never seen such a tumultuous public display, before a
decision has even been made. There are nine individuals on the Board
who have a collective responsibility to choose a Superintendent. Agree
or disagree with what the majority decides, but please stop putting
forth these ridiculous insinuations about their motivations. Let the
process proceed and conclude in a civil manner.
