A letter to the editor in today’s Register, signed by a group of 39 residents calling themselves Iolans For Good Government, levies a number of criticisms toward the Iola City Council.

Much of the letter, which appears on page A6, spells out the process in which a council committee — a small group of councilmen assigned to research specific topics — has since last June considered changes to Iola’s charter ordinances, necessary to configure duties and responsibilities of the council and mayor’s office under the new form of government.

(The council was seated last April, culminating a two-year process in which Iolans voted overwhelmingly to disband the former three-member city commission, and eventually agreeing on an eight-member council.)
