Johnson County supervisors pick Rettig as new chairwoman
Janelle Rettig was elected chairwoman of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors Wednesday.
The board makes the selection itself and rotates the position annually among its five members , and it was Rettig's turn to take the gavel.
Rettig, a Democrat from Iowa City, has been a county supervisor since October 2009, when she was appointed to fill an open seat. She won a special election in early 2010 and later that year was elected to a full four-year term.
Supervisor Terrence Neuzil, a Democrat from Iowa City, was elected vice chairman.
