Letter to the Editor: Disappointed in Eureka Springs cemetery commission

Dear Editor, I believe that ALL the members of Eureka’s Cemetery Commission (except Glenna Booth) should immediately resign from their positions, and if not, then the city council should do its duty by removing them from said commission, as they have shown themselves incapable of following the FOIA rules which govern public commission procedures, not to mention their blatant defamation of both myself, Patrick Lujan, and the former groundskeeper, David Helms. I am extremely disappointed in the commission’s actions and words, and needless to say, can no longer continue on as sexton.
