Temper flares when Fox approaches Kurth
A Fox 11 producer approached Mayor Don Kurth after a special meeting today and got nothing but an open palm against the camera lens.
Tim Harrell was doing an investigative piece on the Carrari Ranch project and wanted Kurth to answer some questions about the project and his relation to Congressman Gary Miller.
Kurth declined to comment, blocked the television camera with a document he was holding and asked sheriff's Capt. Joe Cusimano to intervene. Kurth accused the cameraman of pushing him and the cameraman accused Kurth of pushing him.
"I was surprised he got so hostile," Harrell said. "I was surprised he got so angry."
Miller is proposing to build a 110-home development in the hillsides. The project, one of the most controversial in the city, is currently going through the environmental impact review process.

Mayor Kurth has newborn baby at home... maybe too many diaper changes and not enough sleep?
Or... he's worried sick about Rex Gutierrez's future. NOT!
Kurth's violent and bizarre reaction to being questioned just goes to show that he has something to hide about his relationship with Congressmen Miller and the Carrari Ranch Project. I guess Kurth forgot that being a public servant includes having to answer questions. I suggest he take some anger management classes before he pursues the State Assembly seat any further.
Mayor Kurth is bought out by Congressmen Miller why else would he act that way?
Whatcha trying to hide Mayor, It was just a couple of easy question's. It seem's that there's a problem with developer's and the Mayor, not only Miller but Burum also, remember Kurth's wife is tied to the Colonie's project too. Ya know Mayor these question's weren't as tough as having to fill out one of those really hard time card's that the twit Gutierrez said he couldn't understand. Lucky for you, eh Donny! Corruption rules the Rancho Council, so obvious it is.
The Mayor's wife is not "tied" to the Colonies. Nice try Rex!
Interesting that Mayor Kurth's critics are starting to attack his wife. Talk about hitting below the belt.
