Richard Gaines Leaving SAB
At the March 16, 2017 SAB meeting, Richard Gaines made several cryptic remarks.
As he was walking in he told this reporter that I wouldn’t have him to jump up and down on much longer. Then, he remarked that he was joking. (NB I have never physically jumped up and down on Mr. Gaines.) Then during the course of the meeting he remarked several times about how things looked from the view of walking out the door.
Rick Sullivan responded at one point vaguely implying that he was going to miss Mr. Gaines.
No official announcement has been made to the effect that Mr. Gaines is leaving the board. But he is. President of the Board of Aldermen Louis Reed gets to appoint his replacement.
