Voters will get another chance to approve extending Buchanan County’s capital improvement tax, this time with a sunset clause. Presiding Commissioner RT Turner says the county will put it on the ballot in February or March, along with the Missouri Presidential Primary.

The legislature will decide whether to leave the primary in February or move it to March. The national political parties want a March primary because many states have tried to get attention by holding their primaries early.

Buchanan County’s quarter-cent capital improvement sales tax raises about $2.8-million a year. The Commissioners ran it without a sunset clause August 2nd and voters rejected it 60 percent to 40 percent.
