Platte County Republicans Vote Themselves 30% Pay Increase

PARKVILLE, MISSOURI — At a time when regular people are struggling to make ends meet,

the Republicans in charge of Platte County’s government decided to give themselves a 30% pay

increase.

This comes after a dramatic increase in property taxes and the County Commission’s rejection

of a children’s mental health fund. Clearly, the Republican priority in Platte County is not to help

the people.

The dysfunction of the Platte County government is quite clear. Commissioners don’t hold

regular office hours; the clerk closes before Platte County citizens are off work; and there is

constant infighting on who to blame for property taxes instead of fixing them.

Platte County deserves better.
