June Election Primer

**NOTE: Gov. Mike Parson issued an executive order, which orders municipal elections scheduled for April 7 to be postponed to June 2 in response to the COVID-19 outbreak** On June 2, Lee’s Summit voters will have an opportunity to consider a local use tax, which would increase funding for essential City services such as street maintenance, public safety, code enforcement and parks maintenance. A use tax would be placed on goods purchased from out-of-state vendors who are currently not paying local sales tax. The use tax would be applied at the same rate as the City’s sales taxes, which is 2.25 percent.
