A lot of dirty laundry has been aired publicly of late.In particular, this refers to the war of words waged by Great Bend City Council member Randy Myers and other members of that governing body. The first volleys were fired during the April general election in the form of letters to the editor in the Great Bend Tribune, as well as massive missives in the form of paid advertising.As a side note, the newspaper is proud to serve as a community forum. However, when it comes to letters, the paper is merely a conduit for public opinion, not a proponent of the ideas the letters contain.After the election, the rancor continued and it came to a head this past Monday evening during the council meeting.
