Willoughby's Appointment Result of Backroom Deals

The District Attorney has issued his ruling on the KOMA invetigation into the appointment of Alan Willoughby, the mayor's uncle by marriage, to the city council.

From the Shawnee Dispatch:

The Johnson County District Attorney’s Office ruled Wednesday that the spirit of the Kansas Open Meetings Act was violated by Mayor Jeff Meyers and most members of the Shawnee City Council last July and that the resulting appointment of Alan Willoughby to a vacant Ward 2 council seat was the result of “backroom deals.”
