Petitions seeking recall elections to remove Ken Rowe and Kendall Callahan from the Iola City Council were found valid and will be circulated by Iolans for Good Government.

The petitions were handed to Allen County Attorney Wade Bowie last week to determine whether reasons for recall met legal muster. They did, said Bowie in an opinion given to Allen County Clerk Sherrie Riebel Monday.

Rowe and Callahan have come under fire for allegedly stepping outside the council’s bounds to discuss city business and for being ringleaders in the firing of City Administrator Judy Brigham and Ken Hunt, human resources director.
