This blog features observations from Randy Turner, a former teacher, newspaper reporter and editor. Send news items or comments to rturner229@hotmail.com
Joplin R-8 and the City of Joplin must be taking turns increasing the tax levy to cover their reckless spending. This year is the City's turn and next year R-8 can increase their tax levy.
The campaign to have people rebuild and stay in Joplin didn't pay off so well for those of us who did just that. If insurance rates that have nearly doubled isn't bad enough, we are being taxed to death by the City, school district, and even the Mall.
It sort of makes me wish I would have just moved away like so many others have done.
