Bank in the spring Jefferson County 911 managed voter approval for a 0.5% sales tax to fund upgrades to its systems.

A few days ago St Louis County 911 managed voter approval for a 0.1% sales tax to fund upgrades to its systems.

So, why does Jefferson County 911 need a rate that is 5 times higher than St Louis County 911?

Maybe because St. Louis Co. has about five times the population, many more retail businesses, and less land area than Jefferson Co. does.

This could be really exciting and dynamic, spurring you into fresh adventures together, or it might lead to spats that seem to get more petty as the day wears on. So resist the temptation to get drawn into silly squabbles and instead express today's energy in more positive ways.
