[Vision2020] Wheaton Story in paper

[J Ford]

Comments, anyone?



The Moscow City Council voted to remove Board of Adjustment Chairman Jon 
Wheaton from his board position Monday night.

"Issues have been reported relating to compliance with legal requirements 
for the job," said Moscow Mayor Nancy Chaney, who brought the issue forward 
as a new agenda item Monday night.

Chaney declined to comment further on reasons for Wheaton's removal, saying 
it is a personnel issue.

"I regret that he has been unwilling to receive my efforts to communicate," 
she said. "I suggest that he be removed; I do this with sadness."

Wheaton, who has served on the board of adjustment for the past 15 years and 
was reappointed chairman by the board this year, said he refused when Chaney 
asked him to step down.

"She didn't say why," he said. "The closest she came was saying that I 
ruffled somebody's feathers. I thought, 'So they were listening. Good.' "

Wheaton said he refused to sidestep Chaney or "play her game."

"She's got something up her sleeve, but I don't know what that is," he said. 
"She wants to be queen, literally, and everybody will bow and beckon to 
her." [DMC: Note — do not cross Nancy Chaney. You are a team player as long 
as you play the game her way…]

Moscow City Councilman John Weber voted against Wheaton's removal.

"I don't know that the entire (board of adjustment) panel had been spoken to 
about his removal," he said. "I didn't think it was something to remove 
someone for."
