His comments are featured in an article in the Columbia Missourian's Vox Magazine written to preview the superintendent's scheduled speaking appearance, "A Night With C. J. Huff" Thursday night in Columbia:
We lost 161 people in the storm, and really we have an obligation as a community to build back better. We owe it to them, to the legacy of those folks who lost their lives to build back better. I think that everybody on this end is doing everything they can to make that happen. So I guess that’s what I wish for Joplin. Just coming back bigger, better, stronger and continuing to try to be that role model for the rest of the country.

Please don't use the deaths of our friends and loved ones as a means to exploit the public by building your monolithic schools. That is as distasteful as the Besendorfer remark about silver-lined funnel clouds. Greedy and disgusting people.
Why don't the people get a say in anything? And what about the people that survived? And all the new places that are popping up made 50% of glass windows? It's all for the looks and sailing by on the bare minimum isn't it? I'm moving first chance I get, but for now I'm stuck here along with everyone else who can't afford there bills anymore just to build us back "stronger." it's just a show and tell now ever since we got attention after the tornado. We needed it but now they're way overdoing it.
We DID have a chance to have a say in the school bond issue. It passed by less than 59 votes. Now our pocket books pay for the Huff monuments because of all the people that say 1 vote didn't matter.
I personally voted against it.
