Harrell decides against UW game appearance

Posted by David Postman at 3:29 PM

Times city hall reporter Bob Young says that city council candidate Bruce Harrell has pulled out of tomorrow's game day Husky Legends ceremony. The UW's
Richard Kilwien told him that Harrell "graciously pulled out."

Kilwien said:

"He felt if there was are any potential for impropriety or any appearance of such it was better off waiting for another day when it fits in both of our schedules.

"We still maintain there is nothing wrong with this. It was his decision."

Harrell just told Young that there are some disappointed family members. But, he said"

"My most important worry about all this is, are we going to win the darn game tomorrow."

Harrell said he didn't want his ceremony to create any possible problems for the UW. "I really don't think it's violative. But why take the chance? One thing that's served me well all my life is taking the high road so that's what I'm going to do."
