Shell Knob Lions Club Says Thank You to Steve McIntosh, 7th Congressional District constituent liaison
Shell Knob Lions Club President Steve Crandall gave high praise to Steve McIntosh, the 7th Congressional District constituent liaison representative based out of Joplin, Mo. Richard Nierman, and president Steve Crandall sought help from several sources in achieving the Lions’ Club goal of renovating the CCC park water problems.
The old restroom facilities had deteriorated so badly that it contaminated the well system. Their search for a new water source ran into numerous obstacles in the various federal and state agencies. And then, the Forest Service was reluctant to replace the irreparable restroom facilities although they were doing so with other facilities in the Mark Twain Forest. Frustrated, Richard called Steve McIntosh for help. Steve was able to open many doors by phone calls to the parties involved and became the “Go-to-Guy” to get the project completed.
Roy Blunt and Steve McIntosh are old school friends and that friendship ultimately lead to Steve joining Roy in his political career. However, Steve maintains his services are not political. He said that if anyone in the 7th district needs help with Federal issues; Social Security, Corps of Engineers, Federal Grants or Farming programs, call him in his Joplin office. The audience greatly appreciated Steve’s presentation on the inner workings of being a representative’s liaison. Several positive comments were made regarding Steve’s past work for this area and the meeting ending with a standing round of applause.
