An effort failed Tuesday to formally reprimand Councilmembers Chris Krohn and Drew Glover for workplace misconduct. In an emotional meeting, the council took steps toward a new ethics policy and mediation among councilmembers. The council also took on new rules for marijuana dispensaries and syringe waste bins.
Editor’s note: The headline of this episode has been updated. An earlier version was inaccurate because there was no vote on censure, only a vote to table the matter.
