New Tax to Support Band?
Filed Monday, January 29, 2007 at 12:00 PM
Tom Weber of KWMU reports that 8th Ward Alderman Steve Conway has introduced a bill (Board Bill #372) that would raise taxes to pay for a city band.
From the bill: “Under and by the authority of Section 71.640 RSMo., there is hereby imposed a City band levy at the rate of 2 mil per One Dollar of assessed valuation for the purpose of supporting a municipal band.”
Word is that Conway, who is currently running unopposed, will not be seeking another term after this one.
