City Council Reassigns City Attorney Full-Time Role
The Enterprise commends the city council for requiring the city attorney to move to full-time city employment and to devote all time to municipal business. It notes the action followed a political row over a civil bill and cites motives beyond politics, praising both Groome and Kearns for moving away from single control by Jones and Crissman. The paper argues the council acted long desired, albeit late, and supports the old adage Better late than never.
