Willmar pulls the plug on Kandi Rapper show due to rules violations
WILLMAR — The city of Willmar has decided to suspend Bob Skor, the host of the Kandi Rapper show which aired on the Willmar Regional Access Channels, for at least three years, for violating the city's rules and procedures for the use of the WRAC facilities, services, equipment and channels.
"Based on the City's review of the numerous rules violations you have incurred for prior episodes of the Kandi Rapper, including the most recent complaint, the city has determined that you are hereby immediately suspended for a minimum period of three years," City Administrator Ike Holland wrote to Skor in a letter dated Aug. 30. The West Central Tribune obtained the documents through a Freedom Of Information Act request.
The most recent complaint regarding Skor's show was filed on Aug. 17 and came from Willmar Mayor Marv Calvin. The complaint alleged the Aug. 17 episode of the Kandi Rapper violated the rules by airing content that was "libel, slander, incitement or invasion of privacy."
Brian Grogan, an attorney at the law firm of Moss & Barnett in Minneapolis, reviewed the complaint for the city and found Skor had violated the city's rules for WRAC use.Grogan specializes in cable communications law.
In Grogan's letter to Holland about the issue, he said after reviewing the episode he found several statements made by Skor about Calvin were of a negative and slanderous nature.
