EDITOR:
Are you wondering why so many Parkville citizens are opposed to a sports complex in Platte Landing Park?
On the April 2, 2019 ballot, Parkville residents voted in favor of this (this is the exact wording on the ballot):
“Shall the City of Parkville, Missouri be authorized to impose a sales tax of one-half of one percent (1/2% of 1%) for the purpose of providing funding for local parks including land, facilities and operations for the City for a period of ten (10) years?”
Now, ask yourself these three questions:
1) Was there anything in the ballot about a sports complex in Platte Landing Park?
2) Was there anything in the ballot about spending millions on a sports complex in Platte Landing Park?
3) Why do some aldermen and city administrators claim the people voted in favor of a sports complex?
