Two new members had joined the commission and the previous chairwoman’s term had expired. Commission member Glennis Ireland was nominated, and so was former Lt. Gov. Loren Leman, who was recently appointed to the commission by Mayor Dave Bronson. Even Ireland agreed that Leman should be chair. But Municipal Clerk Barbara Jones, could not contain herself.
