WEST BEND - The West Bend Common Council, upset over the handling of
a citizen call to restrict sexually-explicit books in the listing
recommended for teen-age readers, rejected reappointing four members
of the city’s Library Board Tuesday night.

"They’re all good people," said Alderman Terry Vrana,
who voted against the four reappointments. "I disagree with
them."
He said the appointees were not serving the interests of the
community "with their ideology."
Vrana said he wanted people on the Library Board "who think
and use a little common sense. I’m concerned about the morality of
this city."
