Since Kevin Briski took the job as head of the Madison Parks Division in June 2008, he has been involved in numerous controversies, including the departure of several longtime parks employees and imposition of a gag rule on employees. Under his tenure, the parks division was involved in spats over the management of facilities, such as the parks' reservation system for shelters; Goodman Pool; prairie gardens and the elimination of golf pros.
Isthmus staff writer Joe Tarr reported on the departure of Madison Parks head Kevin Briski in the April 18 issue, and discussed his story with WORT producer Dylan Brogan on the April 17 edition of In Our Backyard.
