It's sad that Marion's chief of police felt he had to resign. How many good police officers has Marion lost? And why?

Since Marion City Council is having a hard time deciding on the city administrator's reappointment, have the economic development director send out a survey and let the citizens of Marion decide.

After tabling the city administrator's appointment twice, our elected officials will make the decision "to do the right thing." The election results said Marion voters want changes. Are they being heard?

How can Mayor Olson justify making a motion to not reappoint David Mayfield with one council member missing and then not allow an executive session with David Mayfield because one council member was missing?

Behind every mayor who runs on a hidden platform is an individual or group who wants something that is not possible by open and ethical means. It will be interesting to see who benefits from David Mayfield being fired before the mayor even knows the job description. I am very disappointed that the citizens fell for this again. Who knows what damage will occur to the progress of our city this time.

Regardless of which side of the issue you might be on, wouldn't it be prudent for David Mayfield to resign? If he truly is for the betterment of Marion, which he has never publicly stated but one assumes he is, doesn't he realize the division this issue has caused in the community? The council was elected by the majority of the members of this community — not by a few rich boys who throw their money around when they don't get their way.

Why is the county paying a contractor to mow at the county shop?
