Loved the Trib’s editorial today. Once again they managed to put the onus on the little guy getting shoved around by the District’s bulldozers.
I got another email on that subject today which echoes my thoughts.
Harry,
Thank you for pointing out the DNT’s tactics. When something is so obviously wrong but falls on someone or something they support they will wait until they can find some blame to spread around.
They knew they would have to come out against the district’s bulldozer illegally destroying someones property. But their first story was very telling. “prematurely” taking the property
Or maybe it is the circulation division that tells them to keep all sides happy.
I still find their treatment of an ordinary citizen doing what was within his legal rights the most egregious of these damning commentaries. They minimized the district’s lack of following procedure with the letters people had written to the SB and made comment of Lauren M’s actions as “in his mind he…” How cruel.
Now they are going to frame this as a “man up” contest. Painting their side as the heroes no matter what.
As far as the one finger salute that Kuiti gave, it is nothing compared to the gesture this district gave us when it stole the vote.
Here is more about what the district has done to Kuiti from DNT Voices. First, the Duluth School District shows the Duluth Zoning Appeals Board a (incorrect) map which included property owned by Mr. Kuiti, as belonging to the
District.Next, the realtor representing the Duluth School District told one of Mr. Kuiti’s prospective tenants that his property was being sold to the District and torn down! As a result, Mr. Kuiti demanded that the Duluth School District write him a letter agreeing that it was not interested in his property to squelch rumors that were driving away prospective tenants.
And now the Duluth School District has bulldozed his private property!
While I don’t agree with his figure gesture, is it any wonder why Mr. Kuiti is angry? At the very least he’s owed an apology — beginning with one from Tim Grover.
