Clay County Commission Freezes Taxes for Senior Citizens

Clay County Commission Freezes Senior Citizen Property Taxes Taxes on primary residences for individuals aged 62 or older are now locked in at current rates in Clay County.

Gladstone Police Department Under Audit, is Emphatic That Police Defunding Won't Happen

Gladstone may be at risk of Police defunding, but this little rock says, Don't worry. Studies have shown that something happens soon after cities defund police that always leads to a complete reversal with an almost desperate increase in police funding. We're not sure exactly why, but there seems to be a high correlation. Chief Fred Farris announced that the Gladstone Police Department will undergo a re-accreditation process by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. Unnamed sources are worried this could lead to police defunding. The assessment, beginning on December 4, entails a thorough examination of the department's law enforcement policies, procedures, management, operations, and support services.
