Two former Joplin mayors are among those contributing to Mike Landis' campaign to return to the Joplin R-8 Board of Education eight years after he quit because things weren't going his way.
Landis' 8-days-before-election disclosure form filed Friday with the Missouri Ethics Commission shows $100 contributions from Ron Richard and Ryan Stanley.
Also contributing to Landis were the following:
Curt Crossland, president, Crossland Construction $500
Joseph Price, sales manager for CD Aviation Service, Anderson, $100
Claude Jardon, Joplin, retired, $50
Bennie Crossland, chairman of the board, Crossland Construction $300
Andrea Pence, Joplin, retired, $100
Gary Burton, lobbyist, $100
Becky Mitchell, Joplin Ad Works, $333.90 (in-kind contribution)
In total, Landis received $1,650 in contributions, spent $4,888.46 and had $6,478.54 in his account at the end of the reporting period, indicating an onslaught of final week advertising may be in the offing.
Most of Landis' spending was on signs, according to the report, with $4,729.55 going to Sign Designs, Joplin.
The only other expense reported was Landis reimbursing himself $158.91 for zip ties and a post driver.
At the end of the reporting period, Landis had raised $11,706.90 during this election and spent $5,228.36.

Look at the names of those giving money. Do they look like people concerned about education or control?
HERE WE GO AGAIN JOPLIN - DO YOU IDIOTS NEVER LEARN...
THE OLD SAYING - HISTORY ALWAYS REPEATS ITSELF WAS COINED FROM JOPLIN, MISSOURI...
Again, Another Election being Bought - and the Elite Status of these Donors - Do not care about the Average Student - - this is the same Old Group of Individuals Buying their way in to our R8 School Board - -
ASK YOURSELF WHY - - - Landis resigned from the Joplin R-8 Board of Education in May 2015 with almost a year left on his term, when things were not going his way, but not before arranging a golden parachute package for former Superintendent C. J.
OR COULD IT BE - - - To Help his Felon Brother - Businessman and former Joplin City Council member Robert “Bobby” Landis has pleaded guilty in federal court to not paying employee payroll taxes for years at an alleged tax loss to the government of almost $5 million and had to serve 37-Months in Jail for his Crimes.
PLEASE TRY TO THINK AND REALIZE THE TRUTH - - DO NOT ELECT THESE PEOPLE - DON'T LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF - - DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF YOUR COMMUNITY THEY DESERVE BETTER!!!
I question the intelligence of the donors.
