Joplin Globe Sunday edition to examine investigation that cost Mark Rohr his job

The area's newspaper of record is at it again.

Newspaper racks around the city are already advertising the top story in the Sunday Joplin Globe. The topic will be the investigation Osage Beach attorney Tom Loraine did into ethics questions concerning Joplin City Council members William Scearce and Mike Woolston.

As those who haven't been out of the area the last several days know, the report morphed into an investigation of City Manager Mark Rohr and led to his firing by a 5-4 vote.

The Globe will turns its unbiased eyes on the Loraine report Sunday in a report titled "Flawed Investigation."

Am I the only one who thinks the Globe's editor may have selected the headline before her reporters ever started the story?

This is so typical, hire a guy to seek and find the TRUTH, then hang him when he does. How come they didn't go after Ex-sheriff Dunn the same way, and people tell me he was the most unethical sheriff their was. Maybe he ignored what the Globe did too.

I would much rather the Globe investigate why Wallace Bajjali hasn't made more progress in rebuilding Joplin. We're nearing the three-year anniversary of the tornado, and not a single spade of dirt has been turned as a result of anything Wallace Bajjali has done.

The master developer has made yet another impressive claim towards his charitable ways in spending 3 million of his own money to help Joplin. Of coarse, no one at his presentation bothered to ask for a documented accounting of this money. Why do those in the re-development society so passionately call for the council to release everything relating to Rohr and the Master Developer to the public but at the same time wouldn't dare ask either to produce some documentation pertinent to there actions.
