Thanks to everyone who came out last night to the quarterly Town Hall meeting held at the Civic Auditorium. Absent meetings last summer during the discussions of a property tax increase, last nights meeting was one of the best attended so far. Was it the meat and cheese trays from Family Market? Maybe. Was it the cookies from SC Bakery? Probably!
But regardless of the reasons, thanks to everyone who came out. While I can’t confirm the menu for December, Big R’s is a top contender!
Having said all that, the turnout was not what was typical in the past – past meaning prior to my election in 2009. In February of 2009, the Neosho Daily reported that 101 people turned out for the first-ever “State of the City” address by then mayor Howard Birdsong. Being in attendance at that meeting, the crowd makeup was much different. There were a number of business owners there. Chamber members. Realtors and bankers too. Not so last night.
But regardless of the makeup, it was a good time for all and I appreciate all who took the time to make it by and hear what’s happening in your city.
