Citizen Asks for Reports from NLC

At this past Monday's council meeting a resident, Rod Houck got up and made a suggestion.

He suggested that the five folks going to the NLC conference in Washington DC write a few paragraphs about what they accomplished. He indicated that those reports should be published on the city's website and in the Shawnee Dispatch.

I heard the mayor and Council Member Sawyer say that they'd have no problem with that. Didn't hear the other three say anything (City Manager Gonzales, Council Members Kuhn and Sandifer)

It appeared that Kuhn and Sandifer tossed some negative looks at Mr Houck. Guess they weren't too happy with that suggestion. Mr Houck may not have been aware of the fact that a couple of years ago Council Member Straub had made the same suggestion and Kuhn and Sandifer were not happy with it at that time. Also Sandifer still hasn't answered the question about how the funds were spent in Texas for one of his trips. His response, on the record still remains "it's none of your business"..........so why should he file a report about what he does in DC? Yepper Mickey, still waiting for a real answer.
