FAIRVIEW, Mo. â A power struggle between city council factions in a town with a population of less than 400 has brought attention from a Newton County judge and the state auditor s office.
Three members of the Fairview Board of Aldermen â Mayor Pro Tem Bill Canoy and aldermen Pam McNee and Tammy O Brien â are attempting to impeach Mayor Ashley Rodgers and Alderman Raymond Stapleton.
Rodgers and Stapleton have responded with a civil lawsuit asking for court intervention of any impeachment procedures that are not done in accordance with the city s procedure. Rodgers said the three council members have attempted several impeachment proceedings but that none of them have been legal.
