Iowa City protests: 2 more quit Truth and Reconciliation Commission

The Press-Citizen obtained resignation letters from the city signed by Royceann Porter and T’Shailyn Harrington. I appreciate the confidence the Council showed when appointing me to this commission.

Harrington wrote that the ongoing struggle over agenda items coupled with a lack of respect between commissioners escalated hostilities into meetings that are uncomfortable, tense and stressful.
