A letter distributed at the Platte City Chamber of Commerce’s monthly meeting Thursday and in email form to select members of the chamber has caused a stir among some members, and some non-members as well. The letter placed at the chairs of members before the meeting by developer Tim Dougherty accuses neighbors and local media outlets of “villifying” the proposed Lake at Tomahawke Ridge development. When contacted by The Landmark, Karen Wagoner, director of the chamber, said the letter was only approved to be placed at the check-in table. “Originally the letter was to be placed at the check-in table, but it ended up getting distributed and I don’t know who did it,” Wagoner claimed.
