Councilman West has done a great job for the many years that he has served our city. Joplin owes him a thank you for his countless hours and years of service. I do not personally know him, yet I met him years ago while I was still in college. He was gracious and treated me with respect even though he didn't know me. We need more people serving our community, state and country like Mr. West.
Thank you Jim for serving the Joplin Community for so many years. I appreciate what you have done. God bless you.
Good riddance.
@515 AMEN! I smell an indictment of some kind in the near future. Who lawyers up with Beefalo Bill, unless....?
Did you ever think about the possibility that he may have health issues?
