That's Doherty, not Duherty


I haven't met the City Manager, and from all accounts he does a commendable job, but the following in Carbondale Nightlife makes me wonder. "[Jeff] Doherty confirmed [what Council candidate and Nightlife editor, Chris Wissmann, pointed out to him] that the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners is for officers to appeal disciplinary action, but mentioned that the council could could change or alter the board. While Doherty said expanding the board was suggested, the ordnance, as of right now, does not allow for citizens to file a complaint with the board. However, at Tuesday's meeting, Doherty told Muldoon that citizens could take complaints to the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners."
