To her surprise, the mayor of Hume Mo. received a letter of her impeachment last Friday from a member of the city counsel. Mayor Maxine Dixon was voted in last year as an uncontested write in candidate and says she's "done nothing wrong, the impeachment lacks merit, is downright silly and vindictive".
Dixon will not elaborate on the charges before she seeks council with the Missouri Attorney General and her own legal counsel.
"I'm not going to take this lying down. I am going to protect my good name" says Dixon who is preparing for the upcoming council meeting, as the meeting agenda includes the impeachment issue.
Members of the Hume city counsel are Cassandra Rogers, Katharina Brooks, James Larch and Charles Shepherd. Dixon says counsel meetings have been chaotic and those in attendance have difficulty staying on track with the subjects up for discussion.
The meeting is scheduled for Feb. 7th. Bates County Live will continue to follow this story as it develops.
