Jail Break/Brake

The County Commissioners have run into a bit of a buzz saw on their ballot proposal for a new jail.  The Platte County Dems voted NO to endorse the tax, and the Republicans, trying to avoid controversy with their Republican Commissioners, decided to neither endorse or condemn the proposal (a NO vote the way I see it).  The Sheriff's department has been the lead organization in promoting the tax increase, conducting "educational sessions" around the County.  All in all a rather botched attempt...wouldn't you say?  The Commissioners may need a mulligan on this one.  I don't see the proposal passing, so expect a do-over

You have at least three reasons to vote tomorrow...School Board, Jail Tax and Road Districts (if you live in a Road District that has an election).

York for Platte City Roads
Cookingham and Gulden for Parkville Road District
