At a reception for county commissioners, new chairman of the Sedgwick County Commission Karl Peterjohn answers a reporter’s questions.A note to readers: I served as co-manager of Peterjohn’s campaign in 2008.
Yesterday members of the Sedgwick County Commission unanimously elected Karl Peterjohn to be their chairman.
Citizens of Sedgwick County should appreciate Peterjohn’s first year of service, just concluded, where he often asked questions from the bench that no one else asks — or even thinks of asking. In the coming year we should benefit from Peterjohn’s leadership, which will be especially important as the county navigates what is sure to be a difficult year financially.
