Primary Election On Tap For Area Voters

By Bob Jackson

Voters in Missouri and Dade County will go to the polls on Tuesday, August 2, 2016, to select Republican and Democrat nominees for the general election in Novem- ber 2016.

In Dade County races, the only contested Republican contest is for Public Adminstrator with incumbent Chrissy Welch and Stanley Jones filing for the position. No Democrat has entered the race.

Unoppposed in the primary and general election are Max Huffman, (R) Sheriff, Annette Black (R) Asssesor, Rod O’Connor (R) Treasurer/ Collector, Gary Banta (R) Coroner, David Rusch (R) Western Commisioner.

In the Eastern Commissioner race, incumbment Dallas Maxwell (R) will face Democrat Chuck Moore in November.
School patrons in the Lockwood, Missouri, R-1 School District are being asked to approve issuing general obligation bonds of $800,000 for the purposes of constructing, improving, furnishing, and equipping new and existing school buildings and related facilities.

1. Roofing repairs elementary school.

2. Windows and wall replacement elementary school.

3. District-wide improvement and repair of heating and cooling systems.

Approval of this proposition by 57% of voters is estimated to result in a tax increase of approximately 0 cents over the existing debt service levy of 60 cents per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation of real and personal property.
