Iola commissioners have been put on trial as of late.
Their decision to ask for a vote to weigh public sentiment as to what the commission’s new size should be has rankled many. Last year’s 2-to-1 decision to disband the current commission style was seen by some as a vote for an eight-member council and a mayor. That option will be en-forced only if the commissioners decide be-tween now and next year to sit on their hands and not act on the issue.
The April 6 vote could be the final say, if commissioners choose to act on it.
The vote can not be made binding…
