Following the Joplin City Council’s termination of City Manager Mark Rohr at the Special Council Meeting held February 4, Mayor Melodee Colbert-Kean reassures the citizens that the City is moving forward and work will continue as usual.
“This was a personnel matter, and we cannot comment on the termination because it is confidential,” said Kean. “Business at the City will proceed as usual. I and the other members of the Council have full confidence in the City staff as they remain diligent to the business and projects we have before us.”
The City Council appointed Assistant City Manager Sam Anselm to serve as Interim City Manager during this time.

I bet they won't comment on it. But then, we all saw that coming, didn't we?
With him making noises about a lawsuit they don't have any sensible alternatives to keeping mum unless and until it's filed and they get deposed, etc.
I have a dream of a day when local government doesn't hide behind the term "personnel matter" in order to avoid being accountable to the people who pay for city services.
