Wellington Residents Want Loveland Mayor to Apologize |
Is it OK to be silent? As with the recent Oklahoma University fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon racist song being sung on a university bus, critics are saying, "not only what was said but how it was said, there was laughter on that bus" Whether Gutierrez was trying to be funny or witty, most of the 20 officials gathered in Loveland's public library failed to rebuke Gutierrez's comment and have yet to take a public position on whether he owes the victim's family a formal apology. LovelandPolitics sent an email to more than half of the meeting participants but none have agreed to go on record with their comments. Below is a list of the public officials and their staff present at the meeting according to witnesses, Loveland Mayor Cecil Gutierrez Loveland City Manager Bill Cahill Larimer Commissioner Tom Donnelly Loveland Councilwoman Joan Shaffer State Transportation Commissioner Kathy Gilliland Public Works Director Leah Browder Loveland City Engineer Dave Klockeman North Front Range MPO Executive Director Terri Blackmore MPO Planner Rebekah Karasko Larimer County Transportation Planner Suzette Mallette Boulder Transportation Planner Kathleen Bracke Berthoud Town Administrator Mike Hart CDOT Rail and Special Manager David Krutsinger Loveland Secretary Rochelle Fernley Ft.
