Rapid City Journal Editorial: Good Riddance Mike Schumacher
The Rapid City Journal didn't recently show a lot of love for it's former employee Mike Schumacher who is at the center of a couple of swirling controversies. (This time it's for the faked e-mails critical of a fellow city commissioner.)
The editorial which appeared this weekend basically said "He's not running again? Probably better that he isn't." Harsh words for someone who used to work for the organization:
Ouch.
The editorial which appeared this weekend basically said "He's not running again? Probably better that he isn't." Harsh words for someone who used to work for the organization:
That’s why it’s disappointing that aldermen have been bickering among themselves over, of all things, phony e-mails being sent to the council and mayor. What’s worse is that they talked about the bogus e-mail matter — and thought they had it resolved — in executive session — closed to the public.(Read the whole thing here.)
and...
Hadcock made the matter public at the April 16 council meeting, during which she said it was inappropriate and unprofessional for Schumacher “to play games” and that he told the council he sent the e-mail “because he believed it was funny.”
Well, it’s not funny. Nor is the fact that the city council allowed this discussion to transpire in closed session, a clear violation of the state’s open-meeting law.
We applaud Alderwoman Hadcock for making public an issue that should not have been discussed in secret. As for Alderman Schumacher: He’s not running for re-election on June 5, and perhaps that’s just as well.
Ouch.
Comments
Regardless, it was a juvenile, classless act by Schumacher. If that's indicative of his character, the people of Rapid City are much better off to be rid of him.
(unlike the above mentioned?)
People, I sincerely wish it weren't necessary to point up things like this to you, but as long as it you seem to be oblivious to the truth of it, someone should, don't you think?
