Skoo Walker, a founding and recurring co-host of the Lake Forest Podcast, said that while Sally contributed as executive director, the new fields were created through city and public efforts, with oversight later handled by Mike Wick, and he told Joe to apologize for inaccuracies from the last podcast.
"You need to publicly apologize to Sally," Walker told host Joe Weiss on the Lake Forest podcast. "Sort out to be throwing shade on her like she was all alone this. Sally instituted, oversaw this whole [fields] project, and that's great, and I didn't—she didn't create it. The city created it, and the public created it to do that.”
“She didn't do it on her own," said Walker. “It was a public-private, the whole slate. But she played a role in it as the director.”
