Way to go Platte County voters — I knew you had it in you. Just as you did one year ago when you passed the one-half cent parks sales tax renewal by a comfortable margin, you once again repelled the naysayers on Tuesday and renewed the County’s highly-successful roads sales tax by an equally impressive margin of 57-43 percent.

Progress has been championed once again while regress has been relegated to the rearview mirror, where it belongs.
