Pachyderms to host councilman, No on 3 treasurer

The Southeast Missouri Pachyderm club will host Cape Girardeau City Councilman Wayne Bowen and No On Three treasurer David Larson in a public forum Thursday at Dexter Bar-B-Que, 236 S. Broadview St., Cape Girardeau.

Bowen will discuss the city fire tax, which is up for renewal on the Nov. 4 election ballot. Larson will speak on Amendment 3, an issue regarding teacher tenure and evaluation that also will be decided in the general election. No On Three is a not-for-profit group dedicated to reaching out to voters and campaigning against the proposed amendment, which would tie teacher evaluations to student test scores.

A brief business meeting begins at 6:45 p.m. with the program immediately following at 7 p.m. The event is open to the public. For more information, contact Holly Lintner at 200-4073.
