Mitchellville, Iowa residents demand mayors resignation after firing of long-serving fire chief, Mike Twohey. Mayor Tony Jensen removed Twohey earlier this month, citing conduct rule violations. Twohey led the volunteer fire department for nearly thirty years, earning community support. Tensions boiled over during a city hall meeting, with locals praising Twoheys leadership and urging his return. City council member Steven Zook rejected the mayors pick and hinted at changes to strip the mayor of appointment powers. The position remains open with no clear timeline, raising concerns about potential impacts on fire response times and operations.
