Letter to the Editor
Feb. 18, 2010 · 9:56 a.m.
Regarding Megan Turf's erroneous claim of nepotism within the Ypsilanti Police Department, I'd like to add some clarification. I'm disappointed that Dan DuChene did not show the integrity of a professional reporter. Clearly he did no fact checking regarding Megan's possible motives nor did he adequately report the findings regarding this spurious issue.
Megan was fired from her volunteer position by then Chief Matt Harshberger for conduct unbecoming a volunteer. Those of us close to the department at that time knew Megan had an altercation with an unidentified female officer. In DuChene's February 17th article, Megan admits this officer was Detective Jill Kulhanek. Her being fired from a volunteer position she clearly treasured may have colored Megan's motives both toward Detective Kulhanek and Chief Walker. As she is quoted in that article, her preference is to have the detective released from the department. Yet Megan would have us believe this is not a vendetta.
DuChene failed the community both with his lack of verification of what led to how Megan "ended her service." He also failed to report that Detective Kulhanek is separated two-fold from the chief. She reports to a sergeant who reports to a lieutenant.
Shame on you both.
