  • Miami voters deciding fate of sales-tax increase

    Voters expressed frustration with the condition of city streets on Tuesday as they headed to the polls to decide a proposed 0.65 percent sales tax earmarked for street improvements.

  • Voices: It's a cookbook The banking system is not broken. Or it was designed that way, and you can’t fix something that’s not broke without making it worse; you can only get rid of it.

    Why is the fox not afraid? Because he’s smarter than the path he travels. Then why does the fox dress as the hound he pretends to be afraid of? When trading children nickels for dimes because nickels are bigger, it’s smarter to dress like the hound than to look like a fox.

  • Voters set to uncork liquor-license issue NEOSHO, Mo. — A string of proposed amendments to the city charter, including one that would allow the City Council to determine the availability of liquor licenses, and school board races will come before Neosho voters on April 8.

    Fourteen of the 15 changes will be posed as a single question, allowing voters to approve or reject all of those amendments with one vote. City officials earlier this year decided to put those revisions into one question because they wanted to rein in the cost of the election and because they viewed them largely as noncontroversial.

  • Webb City officials proposing bond issue for infrastructure again WEBB CITY, Mo. — Hall Street in Webb City has to be repaired, local officials say.

    Increased traffic and tractor-trailer loads from the Joplin-Webb City Industrial Park has torn up the road and created a dangerous situation, according to Webb City elected officials. The problem is that Hall isn’t the city’s only street that needs some extra attention these days.

    “We haven’t had any city improvements in a while,” said Councilman Ray Edwards.

    To pay for these improvements, the city is asking voters on April 8 to reconsider a multimillion dollar bond issue that was narrowly defeated last August. A City Council race also will be on the ballot.
