Update on Springfield City Officials' Lobbying Trip

Just an update on my last entry, "City Manager Burris' Trip to Washington D.C.".

According to the Director of Public Information Louise Whall, the City Manager and Economic Development Director spent two days and one night in Washington D.C.

"The Mayor was on a different travel schedule and only flew one way, staying that same night," Whall wrote in an email response.

Regarding Mr. Marrs, he is a contract employee. Whall indicated his primary responsibility is in Jefferson City. She noted he works with a firm in D.C. to represent the City there.

Does that mean he is not coming back ??? :) :) :) How many rooms in DC did they rent out??

The girls should have one, and little tommy should have the roll-away with the other boys.

Last night, I was listening to the tv in the other room and heard the commentator say Burris might be forced to resign and Springfield was mentioned.

He was talking about Springfield, IL, not MO

LOL
