. . . you might not hear about this, because neither
Kkountry 95 nor the
South Missourian News had a reporter present at last night's city council meeting.
A disagreement erupted about
kickbacks "administration fees" that city
manager administrator employee Gary Barton might be getting for filling out grant applications.
Some highlights:
Bob Grimes expressing his desire that "people just shut up about it." He seems to forget that the people write his paycheck and have a right to know what the city is doing.
The mayor throwing yet another tantrum, calling out a member of the audience for having the nerve to talk to his state representative.
That's all I want to say on the matter until I have a chance to talk to some of my sources.
Look for an article in the
West Plains Daily Quill in the upcoming days. Unlike our "local" media, they actually had a reporter at the meeting.
In other business, new rules for safety equipment on ATV's on city streets were enacted.
And the taxpayers of Thayer will now be providing animal shelter services for the city of Koshkonong, apparently with no reimbursement whatsoever from Koshkonong. Isn't that nice of us? Why should WE be paying for THEIR city services? Why can't they do what Thayer did, build their own pound?
