    OPPOSE THE DEMONRATS (aka – Democrats) = THEY ARE THE TAX AND SPEND CROWD, EVEN THOUGH A FEW OF THEM REBELLED ON THE PLATTE COUNTY “JAIL TAX HIKE”, DEMONRATS ARE 99% OF THE TIME, IN FAVOR OF MINDLESS, CONTINUOUS JACKING UP OF YOUR TAX BILL.

    We just moved back to America from California where they never met a tax proposal they didn’t vote themselves. Glad to see the folks here in Platte County are smarter than that.
