School Board Member Warner’s Ejection, Comments Still Have Legs

By on January 30, 2013

RIPPLES CONTINUE TO FLOW THROUGH BURLINGTON IN THE WAKE OF SATURDAY’S CONTROVERSIAL FRONT-PAGE NEWSPAPER REPORT CONCERNING SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER MIKE WARNER’S EJECTION FROM A MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS BASKETBALL GAME LAST THURSDAY.


WARNER HIMSELF SPOKE OUT AT MONDAY’S SCHOOL BOARD MEETING, APOLOGIZING FOR ANY EMBARASSMENT THE STORY MAY HAVE CAUSED FOR OTHER BOARD MEMBERS BUT ALSO CRITICIZING “THE HAWK EYE” FOR NOT HAVING MORE POSITIVE COVERAGE OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

 

THE TOPIC WAS A MAJOR POINT OF DISCUSSION DURING YESTERDAY’S “TALK SHOW” ON KBUR… “DAN” CALLED IN AND SAID HE FELT THE STORY WAS IN BOUNDS, BECAUSE WARNER IS A PUBLIC OFFICIAL AND WHAT THE PAPER SAID HAPPENED, HAPPENED.   ANOTHER CALLER, “ANN,” SAID SHE THOUGHT THE STORY WAS VALID, BUT SHOULD’VE BEEN PUT IN THE SPORTS SECTION.
