Mayor Jim Langfelder’s former director of planning and economic development is firing back about her own frustration working with the mayor.
Langfelder fired Val Yazell last week, saying he wants to move in a different direction and expression dissatisfaction with what he describes as the slow pace of decision-making. But Yazell says she’s the one who had difficulty getting answers, or any kind of communication at all, from the mayor.
