Which of these 11 people should be appointed to Joplin City Council?

(From the City of Joplin)

Joplin City Council will hold a Special Meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, March 11 to hear presentations from applicants for the vacant general seat of the board.

Each of the 11 citizens will have five minutes to present information to highlight their interest and qualifications to serve on the City Council. KGCS-TV will broadcast the meeting that evening.

The City Council will vote to fill the vacancy at their regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, March 18. The candidate who receives the majority of Council votes will fill the post and be sworn in during this meeting. The newly elected Council member will complete the unexpired term, which is up for re-election in April 2020. 








Citizens who have applied for the General Seat and their business affiliation are:

Douglas “Tom” Rogers, 12One Group

What difference does it make?
Unless he did something illegal, it really is none of our business.

There is something wrong here, Harvey's name is not on the list.

I was wondering about about Harvey just the other day.

It seems like it's been several weeks since he saw fit to bless us with one of his comments here.

I hope he is ok.

Again thanks for your concern!, and I’ll be back st full speed before Spring is over
