JACKSON COUNTY EXEC FRANK WHITE'S RESISTANCE AGAINST PROPERTY TAX ROLLBACK SPARKS POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES!!!
Last week a Jeff City action occurred under the radar but it deserves better context and reporting.
The basics . . .
The Missouri House on Thursday voted unanimously to place a question on the ballot asking voters across the state whether Jackson County should elect its assessor. The question will either appear on the November 2026 ballot or at an earlier election called by Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe.
However, that doesn't tell the whole story . . .
Trusted insiders make it plain for us . . .
JACKSON COUNTY ISN'T GETTING ANYTHING FROM MISSOURI UNTIL FRANK WHITE COMPLIES WITH THE TAX COMMISH & ROLLS BACK PROPERTY TAXES!!!
Special thanks to an insider for sharing this word . . .
"Look at the big picture behind decision on an elected assessor. It's Missouri showing no confidence in the Frank White administration. Just talk to your state rep., Missouri isn't going to touch anything from the Executive until the property tax issues is resolved. Taxes are a big deal to the Republican super-majority even if local media downplays it. The Republicans in Jeff City aren't going to allow a County, even a charter county, to set their own taxing rules without state compliance. So I think the message is clear to the executive and voters need to understand it as well: No stadium money, no favors and VERY REAL consequences until Jackson County comes into compliance."

As the end of the session approaches, it seems the Missouri General Assembly is sending a strong message to Jackson County that the courthouse MUST play by the rules.
