Puhleez Hickory County #Missouri, it’s ridiculous to expect local govt to predict how many lives will be saved or response times improved by a sales tax dedicated to manning your 911 dispatch center. Either you want a properly staffed 911 call center or you don’t. @ky3 report
A 20% poverty, decreasing <10k low population Hickory County that covers 412 square miles, with Pomme tourism should not accept crazy excuses for voting yes or no.
Vote as you wish but don’t lie to yourselves about the reasons, including tourism.
#Missouri promotes Pomme de Terre as a tourist destination. Minimum levels of service should be required & that should include cell service & emergency services & broadband services.
Sales taxes are paid by visitors & outsiders. That should have been included in the @ky3 report
Inadequate #911 & emergency services is a #tourism & tourist killer. When @GovParsonMO & #moleg budget tourism $ there should be budget dollars dedicated to protecting our tourists. Regulations & $$.
Why don’t tourist communities insist on MO providing adequate minimum levels of protection & services for the people working in those areas & people visiting those areas?
As #Missouri prepares to vote in November, folks should look at what our State electeds are NOT doing that effect local economies. Refusing to distribute Federal tax dollars & use them wisely should be a huge issue.
Does your MO Senator & House Representative bring home your $?
