On Tuesday the Ozark County Commission released a statement saying that they have found out that the half-cent law enforcement tax that was approved in the November Election can not be imposed.
“Commission Statement”
“It has come to our attention, after notification from the Missouri State Department of Revenue, that the Law Enforcement Sales Tax passed by the voters of Ozark County in the November 8 General Election cannot be imposed. This was a massive shock to us at Ozark County, and we are currently working with Legislatures to navigate through our options to provide the funding so sorely needed for the Ozark County Sheriff’s Department. We want to thank the voters of Ozark County for their support in passing this sales tax and pray that the support so graciously shown will continue as we find the best option to move forward,”
In August, Sheriff Cass Martin, had to lay off two full-time deputies and five other employees at the sheriff’s department due to a budget crisis, said his department was depending on the money generated from the additional half-cent sales tax to fund the department in the future.
