Andrew County ballot measure aims to fund full-time prosecutor, SROs
Andrew County residents will vote on a proposed sales tax Nov. 5 that aims to improve school and public safety in the community.
Andrew County officials held a forum ahead of the election to discuss a half-cent public safety sales tax increase that would fund a full-time prosecutor in the county and, in addition, would add five school resource officers to schools in Andrew County.
A lack of school resource officers and one part-time prosecuting attorney has raised concern for the public safety of the community.
