Wallace-Bajjali says it will close on Coca-Coca Building August 8, fails to say which year
A report from Stacey Lindsey of KOAM/Fox 14 KOAM TV 7
What I'd like to know is Did Wallace-Bajjali or the city of Joplin talk to the Post Office about moving before deciding on this building or did they decide to buy the building and thought they would just "tell the Feds" they had to move there. If they were arrogant enough to think they could tell the federal government what to do, then, in my opinion Wallace-Bajjali is incompetent at best and scammers at the worst.
Since they don't even have the money to pay their $450,000 delinquent fine, I wonder where they are going to get the funds to close on the Coca-Cola building. I can't imagine too many investors wanting to get involved with them at this point.
So... I'm curious about this post office thing, too. What is the deal? So weird. Like most land-deals involving people in local government I assume it is to someone in local government's benefit, I just don't know enough to see the angle.
I'm curious why everything seems to be about downtown Joplin, which wasn't even touched by the tornado. Oh sorry, I forgot about all the trees planted in the parks in the dead of summer and then allowed to die because they didn't water them.
