(Ste. Genevieve County) Ste. Genevieve County is placing a 3/8 of 1% sales tax on the April ballot to pay for 911 service. Traditionally that service was paid for with a tax on landline phones. However, those are becoming scarce…
That’s Associate County Commissioner Mark Marberry who says the county will need some extra money as the 911 service goes all digital…
Marberry says the county will pay for it one way or another…
The commissioners are hoping that the tax would supply just over the half a million a year they need to fund 911…
Ste. Genevieve County will host an informational meeting on the issue Thursday at the Progress Sports Complex meeting room at 7pm. Official including 911 Director Alan Wells will there to answer questions.
