County can trim levy according to survey
Cole County can reduce its tentative tax levy from 36 to 33 cents in the current budget, the Missouri Public Expenditure Survey reports. Judge Fred Distler criticizes the survey as biased toward large money interests and notes uncertainties due to Board of Equalization and Board of Appeals dates. The survey says 38 counties would pay 1.92 million dollars in unnecessarily levied taxes unless rates are lowered. Cole County would cut three cents, Benton County 46 cents, with several others listed for mid Missouri. The survey also cites an excess unobligated surplus of 28,155 dollars in Cole County, and urges reductions to wipe the surplus.

Missouri River levels rise as levees hold near crest
The Missouri River continues to rise reaching Jefferson City at 27.2 feet with a 27.5 foot crest anticipated for Sunday. Volunteers and inmates aid sandbagging while lake levels and flood gates at Bagnell Dam reflect the ongoing crisis. Dam and levee systems prevented a disaster akin to 1943, with preliminary flood damages estimated at 83 million and upstream dams subduing much of the flow. Local towns report flooded farmland, breached levees near Overton, and Wakenda residents moving out as the river nears critical levels.
