Tax extension opponent Ken Reeder says he would not oppose the issue on the ballot Tuesday if it still had a sunset clause.

The Buchanan County Commissioners say voters can best control how the money is spent by electing the right people to serve.

Reeder says that’s not enough control. Reeder says he has yet to hear a good reason for dropping the sunset clause. Presiding Commissioner RT Turner says the country won’t be able to borrow money for levee improvements without a constant revenue stream to make payments.

Voters will decide Tuesday whether to continue the quarter-cent capital improvements sales tax.
