This document, which appears to be the basis of an earlier Joplin Globe article, notes that Edwards did not call Woolston...because he was representing the council and Woolston had his own lawyers.
The telephone vote ended up 5-3 with Mayor Michael Seibert, Morris Glaze, Miranda Lewis, Gary Shaw, and Ryan Stanley voting to accept the resignation and the joint statement. Melodee Colbert Kean, Ben Rosenberg, and Bill Scearce voted no.
A check of the city of Joplin's website shows no posting of a city council meeting, or any vote for Sunday, September 13.
Very interesting that the three I expected to vote to censure Woolston are the three who voted not to accept his resignation.
ReplyDeleteMost likely because they wanted a hearing so all his guilt would be brought to light, rather than the "he did nothing wrong" BS that he basically got a deal for.
DeleteWoolston is out, seat is open, Jon Buck for council. #jonbuckforcouncil
ReplyDeleteRandy I believe you might have better luck if you looked for postings announcing a jirga. In the case of a sudden resignation like this you then maybe you should search for loya jirga.
ReplyDeleteLoya jirga, TIF district, collateral agreement, master developer. Man, I have learned a lot of words since the tornado.
ReplyDeleteHoo boy! The drama will not end. According to the City's Code of Ordinances, the Council will pick Woolston's replacement. Any bets on the early favorites?
ReplyDeleteJane Cage or Mark Rohr?
