Dear editor,
As a resident of Iola since 1958, I have never seen so much discrimination against city employees.
It seems judgment is made without true facts. When you were elected to office, I don’t think any of us thought this is the way it would turn out.
…. Casting false accusations — where is common courtesy?
I’m sure in both cases, (former City Administrator Judy Brigham and former Human Resources Manager Ken Hunt) they were doing what they were told to do, and if proven to be so, I think a public apology is due, with your pictures on the front page, so we know who not to vote for the next time.
When folks from out of town phone and ask what’s going on in Iola, I’m sure the news about our city helps industries not want to come here.
I’m not a personal friend to either party involved, but my heart certainly goes out to them.
I think if you continue to do all the damage while in office, the next election will be different.
Marianne Westerman,
Iola, Kan.
Dear editor,
I feel the same on this matter (Referring to the above letter.)
My husband came to Iola to help set up Berg Manufacturing in 1974. We found Iola a wonderful place to live in, until now. I question why people are being criticized for the work they do, when others had a say in the decisions they made.
I also feel an apology is needed.
Lillian Orzechowski,
