Like Raytown- Independence too is seeking a "public safety" sales tax increase.
The worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930's apparently didn't faze Raytown voters- who approved their sales tax increase.
According to the INDEPENDENCE EXAMINER- the City Council approved placing a 3/8th-cent police services sales tax on the Aug. 4 ballot.
So says the EXAMINER article- the increased sales tax revenue "could possibly add to the city’s police department 42 sworn officers – including six sergeants – and 18 civilian support staff employees."
We haven't had an Independence police chase into KC-MO for some time- 42 more officers should take care of this oversight- like the added tax will relieve Indy residents of whatever spare change they still have.
