Proposition Number One

Voters of Weatherby Lake will have the opportunity to vote on Proposition Number One tomorrow. Here is the wording of the ballot:

Shall a license fee of ten percent (10%) of the gross receipts from the sale of natural or manufactured gas and electricity provided to the United States or to the State of Missouri or any agency or political subdivision thereof, educational institutions not operating for a profit, churches and charitable institutions, be approved:
Yes
No
A brief summary: Mayor York discovered the exemption for KC MO operated lift stations in a routine review of the KCPL franchise fee payment. In order to remove the exemption an approval of the voters is necessary. The Board of Aldermen voted to place the proposition on the ballot.

I polled all the candidates via email regarding their position on Proposition One. Here are their responses: York, Bos, DeJong, Clark, Finn, = Yes. As of this morning, Stevenson = Undecided.

My two cents = Yes

How can Stevenson be undecided? Can't he ask his sister?
