Hate to intrude on your post St Pat’s debauchery but someone is trying to barge into your party. David Cox is his name. Who the heck is that you ask? Mr Cox is the Platte County Assessor, responsible for setting the value of your property, which in turn determines how much you owe in property taxes each year. Front page article in the Landmark, March 13th edition, captures his comments. ...”many Platte County property owners will see an increase in property valuation”. “As defined by law, market value (appraised value) is the most probable price at which a property would sell in a competitive market”.
Stay tuned.

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but it sure makes the rest of you lonely"
Charles Schulz.
Miss me? I have been planning to jumpstart the blog, and after a number of comments and some cajoling from certain individuals recently, here we are. Those of you who have been loyal followers from the beginning may recall the blog was birthed just prior to the City elections some years ago (you can dive into the archives if you have forgotten or are new). So here we are a few weeks to go until the April 2nd election.
What is interesting (at least to me) is there are no contested races within the City. The Judge (Folkedahl) and Aldermen (Footer & Richmond) are unopposed. One year after the election of Steve Clark Steve as Mayor, Don Hoy as West side Alderman and re-election of Tanya Finn on the East, all seems well. Business is getting done, without acrimony, the new Chief of Police is settling in and George and his crew survived a challenging winter. Nice.
There is some ballot business that deserves your attention and vote. There are Special Road District Commissioners for some of you (I'll explain later), Park Hill School District Board members and a tax proposal for building a new County jail. More on the tax issue later, but I wanted to post the coming "Education Sessions" hosted by the County beginning tomorrow.

Hopefully not...but...FYI,

George called many residents on the affected streets to give them a heads up, but if you are not on those streets be forewarned.
