City of Lawson Missouri

🌞 Good morning, Lawson! 🌞 This is Tosha Jackson here, your friendly "Chaos Coordinator." As you've seen recently, there has been a lot of turmoil on facebook lately - particularly about the pool, the vandalism in the park, people's frustrations with the Raum Bridge and Salem extension, among other topics.

Here's the thing you need to understand: Every. Single. One. Of. Us. at City Hall are doing the best we can every day. We strive to create positive change in our community and serve our residents with open communication and transparency. Are we perfect? Absolutely not. But are we trying to make our community better? Absolutely.

I recently heard someone say, "It seems as though Lawson is turning against itself" in regards to all of the negativity being spread on facebook. What exactly does posting nasty comments on facebook even achieve? Absolutely, nothing. Do you know what DOES achieve real change? Showing up. Volunteering. Actually taking a vested interest in what is happening in your town and HELPING be the positive change you want to see.

So next time you think about making a negative comment, stop and think to yourself, "Is this actually going to make a difference?" or "Is there a person who's actually trying their best who I am putting down for no good reason?"

We, at the City, want your feedback, but it has to be in a constructive and helpful line of communication. Our City Council meetings are open to the public. They are held on the 4th Monday of each month at 6:30pm. If you have legitimate questions or concerns, consider attending the meeting. Or even picking up the phone and simply calling City Hall. We want to work for and with the citizens to make our town as awesome as we know it can be. Let's do this together.
