The Osage Group Executive Committee and the Osage Group Political Committee have made the following endorsements. These committees used candidate responses to a questionnaire, the candidate forum on Climate Change and the Environment, public record of service and commitment to environmental protections and other publicly available information. Please vote on April 5. Please support these candidates with your time and your resources to help them get elected.
Proposition 1 Use Tax - Columbia and Boone County - Support - A use tax would ensure that purchases from online vendors located outside of the state are subject to the same local tax rates as those purchases made from Columbia and Boone County vendors. It would also help the City and Boone County maintain their revenue while continuing to provide the services residents and businesses expect. Additionally the funds would be available to support climate action at Columbia City Council's or the Boone County Commission's discretion. Passing this measure would also result in additional funds flowing as part of the Columbia Parks and Rec Sales tax that was previously approved. These funds could potentially be used for more land acquisition to protect green space in the Columbia area.
