It's important to note that we do not know the full circumstances of this warrant and have requested interviews with Mr. Hendrix, and Ms. Barbour in the past, to discuss it.

City reporter Tim Summers Jr. writes about this text transcript within the trial's context on Day Six of this day-to-day recap of DA Smith's trial:

We encourage readers to comment here on what you think of the EdBuild recommendations and findings.

Right, Knol. Brown v. Board didn't solve anything here -- for many years. But it was a first step. Remarkable thing to say.

Mr. Garrett, we also mentioned ourselves above--because Mr. Carson also does work for us. And I promise that we don't "hate" ourselves any more than we hate you, or vice versa.

Thanks for posting.

I agree, too: "organic, authentic." Todd Stauffer ha written about this many times. Jackson doesn't need a Wet Willy's and a bunch of suburban drunks sloshing three-foot-tall fake margaritas all over each other. It wouldn't be authentic, and it sure wouldn't honor the heritage of Farish any m ore than what Beale has become honors the history of that street. We must come up with better ideas.

Um, because it's 27 children: that does not make a "flood."

I can't help but wonder if this means that Mr. Agnew will also not allow people to come on MPB radio and television to talk about opposition to late-term abortion. Feels like he could have an equal-time problem on his hands if he's not careful.

This is really disappointing. I listened to "Think Radio" for a minute this morning, which I seldom do any more, and realized why I stopped a while back: the host asked one yes-or-no question after another, squelching any real dialogue and stilting the answers.

They can, and need, to be better than this. I don't expect better out of local TV stations, but I do out of public broadcasting. Agnew's job should not be to reinforce stereotypes about information, but to treat us as if we're intelligent enough to make our own decisions. It's sure not "think radio" otherwise. It's dumbed-down radio. With due respect.

Actually, robbier, neither Todd nor I have decided whether we think it makes sense in that space or not. The Lumumba administration hadn't talked to us about it then, or shared details, and the current administration has just started talking about it, and hasn't shared specific plans, yet. It's a complicated issue, and we're trying to report every side we can of it rather than choosing one, at least until we have enough information to take an editorial position, which we may not do.

As for big-box retailers, no, we're not fans of them in general. We are on record saying—I believe Todd might have in a publisher's note once—that Costco is better than most, especially those out of Bentonville.

So, I'm a bit surprised that you're deciding to go after us for reporting various sides on this. Sounds like you'd like us to crawl on board one of the wagons and just stay there and ignore the others. That's not how we roll.

It's also silly to charge that we would choose a side on something just because it's what Mayor Lumumba would have done. We disagreed with him on many things, including that he should be mayor! One thing we miss about him is how he invited dissent and would listen and discuss issues intelligently even with detractors without taking it personally—a quality that many people, including our staff, came to appreciate about him during his too-short tenure as mayor. We miss him, even as we didn't agree with him on everything. He was rather a pleasure to disagree with because he had enough self-esteem not to take it personally.
