You have an opportunity Friday morning to hear from Columbia Police officers, firefighters and city council members about the August Proposition One ballot measure.
Proposition One is a proposed one percent sales/use tax for public safety. Columbia city manager De’Carlon Seewood tells 939 the Eagle that if voters approve Proposition One, $38-million would be generated annually and that there would be 50 additional police officers and 40 additional firefighters over four years.
There are also plans for two new fire stations and a new police station.
