AARP Says Amendment 5 Disproportionately Harms Seniors

The AARP has come out against Amendment 5, which it says would disproportionately harm senior citizens, especially adults on fixed incomes.

Amendment 5 would eliminate the Missouri Income Tax and replace it with a state sales tax. The measure would give legislators a blank check for the next five years to raise sales taxes, expand them to services such as auto repairs, or both.

The AARP notes that most retirees already receive significant tax relief. Social Security benefits are already exempt from the Missouri Income tax, and most public pension income is up to the Social Security maximum.

If the sales tax increases do not meet the shortfall from eliminating the state income tax, the AARP says it could result in cuts to home and community based services, public transportation, long-term care support, and independent living programs.

Election Day is August 4th.

Maryville Woman Shares Story About Maurice Riley

I've been reading a lot of stories about Maurice Riley. I have a Maurice story too. In the late 80's, two 20 something kids settled in to a big farmhouse in Hopkins. I loved that house but it was alot for us at that time. The economy was absolute crap. Scott was driving for Ben Wynn, I was working for Dr. Havaldar. To say that we were dirt poor wouldn't be a lie. We were stretching every penny. Leveraging everything I could just to make it from one Friday to another. I was pregnant and we had our first son. Who was followed shortly by his brother. 4 mouths to feed in a short time. Thank god Gray’s gave us a charge account for gas and Maurice kept us fed. We had food in the house because he took a chance on us and extended credit. We ate a lot of ring bologna .. and his generosity kept the milk flowing when the boys got older. I often look back and have thought of him and how immensely grateful I was for what he did for us. I always tried to keep the bill paid down. Eventually, Scott took a job that moved us temporarily to Redding California. This was about 1992. When we left I remember us having a $250 grocery tab. That was a lot of money then but I sent him payments through the mail and eventually paid our bill off. He never once said to me that our bill was getting high. I don't remember how long it took me to pay him off. Thank god for people like Maurice Riley.

I will never forget his kindness and generosity during one of the toughest times of my life.

Dusty Cowgirl Anniversary Party to Expand

Gwyanda Harker asked for and was granted permission by the Grant City Council Wednesday to close the west and south side of the Grant City Square for the Dusty Cowgirl’s fifth anniversary celebration that will be held on Saturday, September 19th starting at 12 noon.

This year, Ms. Harker is partnering with Psalm 100 Ministries to provide more activities. The event will be expanded this year with a beer garden, food service, Bingo, Cornhole games, booths from community organizations, and vendor booths. The event will be insured.

This is the 44th year that Harker has been working at the tavern, the last five as owner/operator. She started working there in 1982.

Ryan Fletchall was not present, but submitted a report. The water tower was repaired after it was drained and a leak was found. The city replaced meters at the swimming pool and Sunny Slope.

The city has been in the process of cleaning out sewer lines. One line in Farrah Richey’s yard collapsed, resulting in sewer water in her basement. There are two others that will need attention soon. He is looking to buy a smoke tester to detect leaks so he won’t have to keep hiring it done. The city council directed him to get more prices. The pump house at the pool park is complete.

Tyson Troutwine reported that he has been putting in driveway tubes, cleaning out ditches, and mowing yards that the city says are in violation of city ordinances, and fixing potholes. The council approved another load of cold mix.

Mr. Troutwine reported that Superintendent Chris Healy approached him about wanting to fill in the ditch west of the softball diamond and putting in a tube so they can put in more parking. There has been an increasing number of complaints about overcrowded parking at the ball diamond during games; with over 20 girls projected to play junior high softball this fall, that could continue.

If the ditch on the west end was filled, it could provide more parking at the field since cars could park diagonally instead of parallel like they do now. The council was receptive to the city putting in the tube as long as the school pays for the material.

The city got a thank you note from Psalm 100 Ministries for the city allowing them to be part of the Fourth of July festivities. The council voted to donate $100 to the Aivry Griffin Foundation.

 

 

Data Center Discussion Focuses on DNR Permit Application

Following passage of the data center moratorium by the Nodaway County Commission, discussion focused on the recent Scale Microgrids application of a permit to generate and sell energy to the grid with the Missouri DNR. “Evergy is not getting any tax abatements for their project, so why should White Cloud Generating,” asked Scott Wilson. “We were told these generators would run three hours; now, they are set to run 24 hours a day.”

The data center project south of Maryville is being split into two projects. One is under White Cloud Acres, which would run the data center, and White Cloud Generating, which would run the generator system, which it says would sell electricity to the grid for the purpose of developing enough capacity for the grid to support a data center.

Mike Wilson expressed the concern expressed by many that the recently-passed moratorium would not affect the generator portion of the project, since it is being run by a completely different entity, although they are both under the same developer. The moratorium specifically mentions data centers and not any other entity.

“They know exactly what their plans are,” said Susie Strauch. “We don’t.”

Presiding Commissioner Bill Walker said the next step was to look at the proposed development agreement being drawn up by the county attorney, Travis Elliott. As for an extension of the six-month moratorium, “We’ll see where we’re at,” he said.

The topic of sound came up as well. Commissioner Scott Walk said that the data center company is establishing a baseline of sound so they can measure the sound of the data center. Any sound above the baseline would be sound emitted by the facility. They are doing this during the daytime, when there is a lot of truck traffic, and during the night. The company pledged at its June meeting in one of its flyers to keep the sound of the proposed facility to under 50 decibels.

Other discussion focused on the J-turns that the DOT is putting in all over the state.  They are putting one in near where the proposed data center would  be. In a recent news release on its periodic newsletter, “Express Lane,” the DOT included a piece explaining why it believes J-turns are safer. Commissioner Chris Burns said they have been putting them in all over the state, not just on 71. The participants at Thursday’s meeting were not convinced. “I don’t care if they’re saying it’s safer; it’s not,” said Susie Strauch, citing what she said would be increased truck, tractor, and combine traffic on roads like 71.
