I find it very disheartening that our city council and Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell apparently do not read our city newspaper (or the Seattle PI and Tacoma News Tribune).

If they did, they would have known that Greg Summers was accused of sexual misconduct with his patients and would have made an informed decision before needing to call a special session within days of his appointment. It was in the papers on several occasions. How could they miss it?

As for Jim Ferrell to be quoted as being “deeply disturbed” about the city staff not doing their job, I just have to say: I am deeply disturbed about his lack of awareness and willingness to throw city staff under the bus. Given that our city leaders are continually working hard for everyone living in Federal Way, maybe a subscription to The Mirror could be part of their perks package.
