No decision has been made. There will be a very open public hearing.

Our understanding is that Kobe might not play because of the knee injury, ... We think he probably will. That decision will be made tomorrow based on how Kobe is feeling and how his knee feels prior to the game.

What I'm hearing is the decision concerning my position was made before yesterday (Thursday). I was concerned when two weeks ago they hired Carolyn (Campbell) part time for help. We hadn't asked for help. We thought we could do it ourselves.

The decision to commence blasting in this specific quadrant two weeks before the hearing seems intended to carry out as much irreversible demolition of protected resources as possible before the Court can consider the merits. This decision is also fiscally irresponsible . . . as the cost of undertaking this activity will be completely wasted in the event the plaintiffs prevail in this litigation.

They made this decision without the parents' input or having a public hearing.

I don't want people to make a hasty decision about Jeff's future without at least hearing from the people who were involved first-hand.
