"The good people of Carterville took the time and effort to request a closer look at how their city government is performing and this is a responsibility we take very seriously. My office will conduct an audit that can help the city identify potential weaknesses as well as give it a blueprint for becoming more accountable and transparent in the future," said Fitzpatrick.

Kicking over the rocks to see what is hiding, is someone about to be caught with their hand in the citie's cookie jar??
If so 1042, let the mayor place tariffs on all products sold at the Carterville dollar general. Concurrently, put the town drunk in authority to slash unwanted spending and financial waste......no city pothole detail, no city landscaping, slash the police dept, etc...blame CJ, joplin, and webb for the infiltration of illegal narcotics, and immigrants. Inform the citizens of Carterville the entire world is against them and have them belive the mayor is their chosen savior to lead them back to the "golden age" of....... leadmining.
