More about the levy
J.T. | May 31, 2009
Armed with supporting results from academic studies, an organized publicity committee and a challenge to the assessment figures provided by Cass County Assessor Bob Huston, Harrisonville R-9 School District representatives have shifted into high gear promoting the 55-cent tax levy increase earmarked to build a new $14.5 million Early Childhood Center.
To that end, R-9 superintendant Doug Van Zyl, director of communications and community relations Jill Filer and the support group, “Building for the Future,” are going full bore generating publicity and taking on anyone who says the timing for such a project is wrong or it is little more than a cloaked, taxpayer-funded exercise in entitlements.
Controversy over June 2 tax levy
J.T. | May 14, 2009
The Harrisonville school district is asking voters to approve a $.55 tax levy to build a new $14.5million Early Childhood Center facility. It would provide expanded preschool options and before– and after-school child care for preschool students and be constructed on property the district already owns in the Jones Ranch subdivision which is north of Harrisonville on Hwy. 7.
A website campaigning against the measure, www.nonewlevy.com has a few complaints. They point out that Harrisonville already has the 35th highest levy in the state (out of over 500 districts) and that the brochures provided by the District only mentions the “Operating Tax Levy”, without taking into consideration the “Existing Debt levy” which is an additional $.87.
