Mayor Puzner Reads this Blog?
Perhaps, though I suspect it is more likely one of her "handlers" who does.
I posted a challenge to the Mayor concerning some of the things on her web site. As you might imagine, I have not heard back from her or any of her "handlers". I guess, like with the Lions Fair, the Mayor's handlers do not want her to face any opposition directly. If what you say is true and accurate, what are you afraid of? You can't win the hearts and minds of the public if you refuse to speak to them.
There was one interesting change on the Mayor's site. Was it because of my post on it? There is no way to know. The Mayor had said she secured a grant of $130,000.00 for the restoration of the Legion Pool. Now the site says that she has applied for such a grant. I would love to know what specific program the administration applied to for a grant, and when. I would really like to see this application as well. However, I doubt that the Mayor or her "handlers" will discuss anything with me. They do not seem to like to discuss such things with independent thinkers (though they are welcome to prove that statement wrong).
Now, if the Mayor or her "handlers" would address all the other misrepresentations and outright lies on her web site maybe we could actually get to the business of Overland's future.
Again, I welcome any opportunity to speak with you on the various issues facing Overland Mayor Purzner. As always you are welcome to contact me via email at overlandsailor@aol.com to arrange a meeting at your convenience.

I think an FOIA request is in order for information on this whole pool thing including the grant, the selection of a "feasibility study" contractor, etc.
I was not aware that an FOIA could be applied outside the Federal level. If it can, then I have ALOT of paperwork to file. :-)
Oh yes, it applies to any government entity. Actually in Missouri it is part of the Sunshine Law.
There are some limits, like you can't go and ask for someone's personnel records. But, related, you can get everyone's salary. Although most people consider their salary a personal subject, when it is paid for by tax dollars it is public info.
Good luck with the paperwork! Your wife may kill me for this suggestion as it may be very time consuming. So much information, so many trees to kill with FOIA requests.
This link, from Attorney General Jay Nixon's site, has sample wording for such requests.
While this link, is basically Everything Sunshine Law
