JEFFERSON CITY — A measure that addresses a single town’s ability to raise sales taxes for a school resource officer turns into a discussion over the state’s role in such matters. Missouri senators spend time on Senate Bill 21, legislation that would authorize the city of Portageville to propose a sales tax for public safety. The proposal has received first-round Missouri Senate approval. Another positive vote would send the bill to the Missouri House of Representatives for its consideration.
