PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • August 30, 2022
Barbara Everett openly defied rules and regulations on leashing and dog toys. Everett also ignored a verbal warning by a park ranger. At the Aug. 16 City Council meeting, she publicly admitted to knowingly breaking the rules. Everett used legal arguments to again avoid accountability. Her citation was changed from a modest fine to a written warning. Perhaps if Everett had been cited for her first, or even second or third offense, all the online outrage and media drama she sought and provoked wouldn’t have happened. ~ Diane Gotelli, South Portland
