The Burbank Follower, Vol. 2, No. 13

CITY COUNCIL PLOWS THE MIDDLE
The Burbank City Council postpones a decision on the controversial Whole Foods Market issue, voting 4-1 to have the developer submit an amended plan to address traffic issues. Residents of the Rancho, the neighborhood where the natural food grocer wants to build, complain the store's traffic will spook the horses and destroy the 'hood's quirky charm. Daily News. Leader.

NBC GETS NEW CHIEF
Bob Wright gets booted from NBC Universal's big chair, perhaps in response to falling ratings in the post "Friends" and "Seinfeld" years. New boss is Jeff Zucker, a 20-year vet. Leader.

FORMER MAYOR PICKS UP KEYBOARD
Ex-Mayor David Laurell, who also worked at the Burbank Leader in the 1990s, picks up the pen again to write about local politics and society (does that mean gossip?). Leader.

PROFILE OF A NON-CAMPAIGNER
Ted Bunch, running for a seat on the Burbank Unified School District board, is putting up no signs, making no calls and slinging no mud. Refreshing, unless this is due to voter apathy. Leader.

POLICE BLOTTER
Sex, drugs, rock-n-roll. Leader.
