    I'm glad they are paying for his car. With a salary like that it would be tough to make a payment on one.

    Isn't that more than Rohr made after 7 years on the job? And yet all other employee raises are on hold due to budget restrictions?! As if morale wasn't an issue before!

    It is sad that the people in power such as City Manager and Financial Director, both have no checks and balances of power. The Financial Director "reclassified" her entire department a few years back, moving everyone up several paygrades. Which means "raises for the department" in case you didnt catch that loophole. Yet the entire rest of the city was left without raises for several years.

    Then when they did get an "across the board raise," it came at a time when the entirety of the "raise" went towards the increased health insurances.

    The way the City of Joplin is run, we are lucky anything is done or any employee takes pride in their work. With NO INCENTIVE for going above and beyond. No chance for a raise. And those few employees i see taking pride in all that they do for this city, I applaud you, even when the city government you work for is keeping you from advancing in the workplaces because "you're needed where you are" or they want to try to get a friend into the position you apply for. Keep that chin up! Maybe someday we can remove the cancer within the City Of Joplin. When the citizens stand up against the government before the council and ask to remove these people frkm power. We the people have power in numbers.

    Why don't we, citizens of Joplin, vand together and put the money in the hands of those who actually do the work. Not the ones downtown in meetings all day designing things we dont need, and failing to perform to the best of their ability.
