Redevelopment and neglect in Missouri City’s north side District A are again the main issues as voters choose between two businessmen seeking to replace retiring Councilwoman Eunice Reiter in the May 9 city election.
Rodney Griffin, 62, is a longtime resident of the Hunters Glen subdivision and works in insurance and real estate services. Bobby Marshall, 48, who owns a printing supply company and lives in Colony Crossing, also serves on the city’s planning and zoning commission.
