It appears that the Southeast Missourian is not aware of our city manager/council form of government. We do not have a mayor/council form. And ours is not identical to the city of Jackson. Our charter is on the city website. Your recent articles often portray the mayor as leader of Cape Girardeau. This is not accurate reporting to our citizens.
This is my 16th year serving as a city council member, after having been elected five times. Each time I have been elected for GOOD GOVERNMENT! Is this your portrayal of good government?
Loretta Schneider, Ph.D., Cape Girardeau City Council, Ward 4
