Branson City Council to Debate New Form of Government

In half an hour Branson city leaders will debate whether or not they'll be moving to a new form of government.

Debate during last weeks city council meeting became heated as Alderman Sandra Williams brought up the idea under the premise the city of Branson would be altering city ordinaces defining what authority city council has in the hiring and firing process.

Branson's Board of Alderman has the authority to confirm or deny the appointment of the city attorney and city clerk, but the change would give them the right to terminate their employment with a vote, whether or not the city administrator thought such action was deemed necessary.

Eastern Taney County Commissioner Danny Strahan Vs. Roy Combs

 

 

Roy Combs and Danny Strahan paired off last night for the Taney County Federated Republican Women at the Taneyville Center.
Incumbent Strahan claims to have knocked on 4,800 doors to win his first bid. Combs launched his career into retail politicking with gifts of flashlight-screwdriver-keychains.
Common sense reveals that the County Government structure is an ineffective and dangerous model of governance. Three men will end up controlling somewhere in the neighborhood of a $90 million dollar budget. The Eastern Taney County Commissioner will fight to bring as much of the money away from the source - (Branson) and filter it to Eastern Taney County interests.
As a result (both are probably perfectly fine fellas) whoever wins will be crowned Eastern Taney County Pharaoh and righteously scorned by the website that represents - Branson Missouri.
Both candidates were given three minutes to stump in front of Taney County Federated Republican Women guests.
