Local lawmakers talk property taxes, entitlement programs, transgender athletes
Kirksville Daily Express
Local state lawmakers met in Kirksville on Friday as part of the Kirksville Chamber of Commerce’s State of the district discussion.
Cindy O’Laughlin, the District 18 state senator, Danny Busick, the District 3 representative, and Greg Sharpe, the District 4 representative, talked about legislation they are working on and other legislative topics.
Since they covered a multitude of topics, this will be a two-part series to cover what they said. This is Part 2, which covers property taxes, entitlement programs and transgender athletes.
Eliminating personal property taxes
A bill that would phase out personal property taxes over the next few years was defeated in the senate earlier in March. O’Laughlin, Busick and Sharpe all said they were against that legislation and the damages it could cause in rural areas.
