City Attorney Candidates File Proposals

Five candidates for city attorney have submitted their proposals to City Hall as of the deadline Tuesday. Former City Attorney Ron Cates resigned August 21 upon learning that City Council would actively seek new applicants for the job.

New applicants include Logan & Lowry, Grove; Johnny P Akers, Bartlesville; Gregory J. Crawford, Grove; The Hartley Law Firm, Vinita; and Ken Gallon, Miami.

Logan & Lowry, specifically Dave Jones and Donna Smith, spent a year fighting the city in their legal representation of the Grove Municipal Airport Trust Authority Board, in 2006, over the issue of who owned title to the airport property.
