If he does not rehire Marc Steiner by April, Anthony Brandon will suffer two rather significant losses. One is a huge dip in financial and listener support of WYPR, possibly requiring downsizing, layoffs and operational cutbacks that will diminish the station's quality and longevity. Secondly, Mr. Brandon himself will acquire a highly publicized tarnish on his personal reputation in the region. He'll join Spiro Agnew, Jeffrey Leavitt and Robert Irsay in historical infamy.
If he chooses to reverse the unpopular decision, there is chance for a collective redemption that would include himself.
Is there any hope he'll take the high road ?
