How much money is Missouri City going to spend to fire its city managers?Â
 âThis is a true embarrassment to Missouri City, no matter how you shake it,â Missouri City-based real estate agent Noel Pinnock wrote on Facebook. âThe shakeup is costing taxpayers who already donât have a homestead exemption and very few places to shop almost $1,000,000 in direct and indirect costs.â
 Anthony Snipes got $213,200 in his payout last year, and Odis Jones, who was terminated by the city council on April 26, may get more than $250,000, according to an estimate from City Attorney E. Joyce Iyamu, factoring in Jonesâ full benefits and compensation package and the portions of it that would be eligible in the event he is relieved of his duties.Â

Princess Royal Hospital in Telford
The Department of Health and Social Care approved £312 million of funding for the project in 2018, based on the capital value included in a draft strategic business case two years earlier.
But in revised documents in 2019 the funding requirements had increased to £533m, mainly due to increases in government inflation rates.
The scheme will see Royal Shrewsbury Hospital house the county’s main A&E, with Princess Royal Hospital in Telford due to take over planned care and get an ‘A&E Local’.
