Kristen, when you say green spaces...

Public Spaces and our Environment—I will work to protect and
improve our parks and green spaces while seeking out grants and new  technologies that will make Mt. Lebanon even more energy-efficient AND cost-efficient.

Kristen's campaign website  Adding to our quality of life in Mt. Lebanon are vital and plentiful green spaces...

I guess I need to clarify something, Kristen. When you say "green spaces, " are you referring to the color green or are you speaking of natural grass? I still don't understand your position on this.

Looking through the stack of emails from my "Mother of All RTKs," I found some disturbing emails of statements that you made concerning the whole ESB commission liaison issue.

• 11/26/13 Day after the vote to turf Middle and Wildcat, Kristen emails John Bendel and Dave Brumfield at 8:02 AM with "I guess my recollection was wrong - but still not convinced - please read full thread
• This was after Kristen emailed Kathy Hrabovsky, head of the ESB, at 7:09 AM to let her know that they passed the proposal for turfing Middle and Wildcat.
• 7:41 AM, Kathy wishes she had stayed. She didn't realize that artificial turf was on the agenda.
• Here is what is really disturbing. Kristen "takes much stock in what Gillen has to say." (Just throwing in some humor.)
• From there, it starts to get ugly. Kelly calls Kristen on her lie. As one reader wrote in an earlier comment something to the effect of  We watched it. We heard it. We read it. 
• Kristen said a few times that she would apologize. Anyone hear it, read it or watch it?
• Finally, Kristen mailed the turf proposal to Kathy Hrabovsky on January 16, 2014.

So shame on us for not asking, Kristen. When you said "green spaces," did you mean organic toxic turf or synthetic toxic turf? By the way, how are those grants coming along?
