Landmark reporter
Parkville's Ethics Ordinance has come under scrutiny in recent weeks, as former mayor Kathy Dusenbery is accused of violating the ordinance by forwarding an email that appeared to endorse Gerry Richardson for mayor, a race Richardson won handily over Tom Hutsler. The email included her signature listing her title as mayor and the phone number for city hall.
The Landmark this week researched the history of the three-year-old ordinance, including looking at minutes, memos and other information discussed at the time the ordinance was crafted. For more on story.
