What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Voters in Blue Springs will decide on November 3 whether to approve a 2.5% use tax measure. If approved, the tax would apply to purchases made online, via telephone, and from outside the United States. The city states the funds would accelerate street maintenance, potentially finishing road work by 2032 instead of 2036.
