Due diligence or implied bias? Council divided over $337 reimbursement for police chief records

The Edmonds City Council debates the reimbursement during its March 9, 2021 meeting.
$337 is not a lot of money. But $337 is the flashpoint that ignited an inflammatory and seemingly endless debate in Edmonds City Council.
“I think this was a witch hunt.”
—Councilmember Adrienne Fraley-Monillas
–Councilmember Laura Johnson
 
“I’ve been slandered tonight, and I’ve been accused of bias and I just want that to be on the record.”
–Councilmember Vivian Olson
The $337 is not the real story. The story is the internal council battle that, for the last several months, has pitted members against one another; much of it focused on the debate over a new police chief.
