No matter how you slice it, that’s not setting a good example for the kids.

Dorn said in a statement that he and his family attended a community event Saturday night where he drank beer with dinner. He was stopped by police on the way home.

“The public has a right to information regarding the conduct of elected officials,” Dorn said. “However, I hope people will understand and respect that this is a personal legal matter that at this time I am not at liberty to discuss.”

He said he looks forward to the day “when I will be able to discuss the details of the incident.”

Actually, in the interest of education, Dorn is at liberty to discuss whatever he wants (or doesn’t want) about the incident. (Just like TV, it’s the attorney who advises the client to say “no comment.”) It’s the prosecutor who can’t discuss the case before charges are (or aren’t) filed.

The park, which will include picnic areas and athletic fields, is located on a 29-acre strip of land east of I-5, which the county bought in 2000. Design on the $3.1 million park began about six years ago and a groundbreaking took place in February 2009.

Teens are wrong to trespass and the county is obligated, liability-wise, to do everything it can to keep them out. Understood. Harder to understand: The work on the park was put on hold this winter, the county said, to avoid weather complications. Park crews may resume construction in mid-April, finishing off skate ramps and seeding baseball and soccer fields. The park may open in June or early July.

Yes, best to wait until mid-April, when things warm up a bit.

Weather complications? During the warmest winter since whenever?

Not budget complications during the worst financial crisis since whenever?
