Voters didn’t like the idea of raising taxes
CAMDEN COUNTY – Higher taxes were addressed by voters in last week’s elections and all the proposals to raise taxes were soundly defeated.
The City of Osage Beach was asking voters to implement a use tax. Even though the city said the tax would be used for parks voters said no. The question on the ballot was:
“PROPOSITION NO. U: For the purpose of funding the construction, maintenance, repair of, and improvements to the City's Parks and Recreation System, and with any additional funds being applied to other General Fund needs of the City, shall the City of Osage Beach impose a local use tax at the same rate as the total local sales tax rate, currently Two percent
(2.0%), provided that if the local sales tax rate is reduced or raised by voter approval, the local use tax rate shall also be reduced or raised by the same action?”
Voters in the Miller County section of Osage Beach voted 16 for and 16 against. But Camden County voters told a different story: 159 voted no and 85 voted yes so the use tax is dead – for now.
